Last year we planted a Scarlet Dropmore Honeysuckle Lonicera x Brwonii in our back yard. It is located on a SE facing fence and receives about 6 hours of sunlight a day. It started just fine this spring, but so far we have only about 6 inches of growth, and it has been sitting like that for about the past three weeks. Any body have any idea how I can jum start this thing?
May be you are watching it too closely :) I am unsure where you are but maybe it is not warm enough for it yet. Here honey suckle is almost in the weed category. I just checked a page and it sayes hardy for northen climates and a fast grower. I think if it is not dead and looks healthy just give it a bit of bone meal or other natural manures and a bit of good composty mulch and wait. http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/factsheets/vines/lonicera_x_brownii.html http://www.backyardgardener.com/plantname/pda_3ee7.html Liz
