| Yes, it should bloom this spring for you, but a word of caution about this vine - it is a MAGNET for APHIDS - spray often, like every other day, with warm soapy water, alcohol and light vegetable oil to control them. You can also use Murphy's oil soap (alone) if you have it. Wash the soapy water off about 30 minutes after application with a garden hose. |

| You are welcome. Yes, start spraying now - you can't start too soon! |

I planted a new Dropmore Honeysuckle this spring in full sun. It started to shoot out new branches with leaves from the centre. Now the branches seem to be wilting away one by one. I water every two - three days depending on the weather. How can I get this little guy going?
Thanks so much,
Rhonda |
