Preparing honeysuckle for winter
| | |
Posted by reinholdt 5 (My Page) on Thu, Nov 12, 09 at 10:46
| I planted one this spring, but am not sure what type of winter preparation (if any) it needs.
The vine is about 8-ft long now and still has leaves on it. Should I cut the vine to the ground and cover it with mulch or just leave it alone?
Thanks for your feedback. |

| When I lived in zone 5, I grew several species of Lonicera. I didn't do anything to prepare them for winter - they were hardy. Which one do you have? When in doubt, it does no harm to mulch a plant. |

| I'm in 7a and have 2 varieties of Lonicera. Unfortunately I don't remember the names. One is red and is native to this area and the other is red/yellow. I don't do anything besides cut them back in the fall. |
