Lonicera sempervirens in sun?

15 years ago

Anyone growing native honeysuckles in full sun? Supposedly they can take it but GA sun is cooking. I am interested in the Major Wheeler cultivar to grow through a couple of those big junipers shrubs that were all the rage at the end of driveways - whelp I have them at the end of my drive and am not going to fix that one yet, so am looking for a flowering vine to plant through it as a band-aide, one that has repeat blooms. Alternative ideas are always appreciated.

It gets sun most of the day. Anyone had success or failure with this?

They are sun plants naturally. All mine grow in full hot sun.

thanks for the answer - I ordered them. Guess I think of it as needing shade due to all of the Japanese stuff growing just great in the woods.
