Growing Tips

To get the best from your honeysuckle, follow these planting and care tips:

• Planting Location:
  Choose a sunny spot for optimal growth. Lonicera periclymenum ‘Belgica’ thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. It will bloom best in areas with plenty of sunlight, but its roots should be kept cool, so mulching around the base or planting it near low-growing plants can help keep the roots shaded.

• Soil:
  Plant in moist, well-drained, fertile soil. Lonicera ‘Belgica’ prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil. Ensure that the soil drains well to prevent waterlogging, which can damage the plant.

• Pruning:
  This honeysuckle belongs to Pruning Group 3, meaning it requires pruning in late winter or early spring. Cut back the plant hard to encourage fresh growth and maintain a healthy, vigorous climber.

• Support:
  Provide a strong support structure, such as a trellis, pergola, or fence, for the vine to climb. Use soft ties to help guide the plant and train it as it grows.
