The honeysuckle, which cleverly climbs objects, is not only a popular climbing plant. It can also serve as a flower decoration and privacy plant. But it doesn't grow equally well everywhere…
The honeysuckle likes it shady and cool but still light
Bright and at the same time shady and cool
All types of honeysuckle prefer to grow in a semi-shady place. The underground roots should be shaded and cool. This can be ensured, for example, by a layer of mulch or planted ground cover.
While a sunny location inhibits growth and encourages pest infestation, a shady location leads to bare trees. It is also important to provide the honeysuckle with a climbing aid such as:
- trees
- hardy shrubs
- walls
- fences
- facades
- pergolas
- rose arches
- trellis
tips and tricks
Never plant the honeysuckle in full sun on a house wall! It is not uncommon for there to be stagnant heat and drought in summer. This climbing plant does not tolerate that at all.
