Honeysuckle
Question:
I have a really lovely honeysuckle which I planted this year and has done really well until now whilst it has many suckles and many more ready to bloom I have noticed some of the leaves are shrivelling up and going brown I keep it watered regular when needed and fed with tomato food and miracle grow regular I have removed the dead leaves am I been overly concerned and will it produce new leaves any advice on honey suckles welcomed thanks
Answer:
I'm afraid the symptoms you describe are normal for honeysuckle. The lower leaves of the plant die off leaving the healthy leaves and flowers at the top. All you can do is to keep it well pruned to ensure the flowers are at eye level. What I did was to grow it along with Ivy. The Ivy drapes the wall with healthy green leaves and the honeysuckle clings to the Ivy. The bare stems of the honeysuckle then blend into the Ivy and are not so visible.
