Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: This vine thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 6 hours of direct light for the best flower production. While the leaves love the sun, the roots prefer to be kept cool, so consider shading the base with mulch or smaller perennials.
Soil: Plant in well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter to hold necessary moisture without becoming waterlogged. If dealing with heavy clay or sandy soil, amend the site with compost to improve texture and drainage.

Watering Requirements

Keep the soil consistently moist during the first year to help the root system establish deep into the ground. Once established, the vine is moderately drought tolerant, but irregular watering during heatwaves can cause the plant to stress and drop its leaves or stop blooming.

Pruning Tips

Since this honeysuckle blooms on new wood, the ideal time to prune is in early spring before active growth begins. Cut back any dead or wayward stems to shape the vine and stimulate vigorous new shoots, which will carry the season's flowers.

Fertilizer Needs

Feed your vine with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring just as you see new green leaves emerging. Avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer, as this encourages tender growth that will be damaged by the first winter frost.

Understanding Our Container Sizes

At Nature Hills, our plants are sold in industry-standard nursery containers. You will notice we use the word "container" rather than "gallon." Container numbers follow a nursery trade size standard, not liquid volume. The number tells you the plant's size category and general maturity level. A larger container means a more established plant with a stronger root system.

Container Sizes

Quart

Plant age: 6 months to 1 year
Best for: Ground covers, perennials, ornamental grasses
What to expect: Our smallest and most affordable size. Well-suited for planting in multiples across a large area. Allow 1 to 2 seasons for full establishment.

#1 Container

Plant age: 1 to 2 years
Best for: Shrubs, perennials, smaller trees
What to expect: About the size of a large coffee can. A well-developed root system in a manageable size. Good value choice when you have time to let the plant grow into the space over a season or two.

#2 Container

Plant age: 2 to 3 years
Best for: Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment
What to expect: A noticeable step up from a #1 in both plant size and root development. Good choice when you want visible presence without going to a larger size.

#3 Container

Plant age: 3 to 4 years
Best for: Most plants, most situations — flowering trees, shade trees, evergreen shrubs
What to expect: Our most popular size. Strong, developed root system. Plants in a #3 container make an immediate visual impact from day one. If you want a head start rather than waiting seasons for a plant to fill in, this is typically the right choice.

#5 Container and Larger

Plant age: 4 to 5+ years
Best for: Specimen plants, privacy screens, maximum instant impact
What to expect: Large, mature plants ready to make an immediate statement in your landscape. We also carry #7 and larger sizes for select varieties.

Why "Container" and Not "Gallon"?

Nursery container sizes follow an industry trade standard established for the nursery and horticulture industry. The number is a size designation, not a measurement of liquid volume. Actual soil volume varies by plant type, root mass, and growing medium. Using "container" is the accurate industry term. When you see #1, #2, or #3, think of it as the plant's size tier, not a gallon measurement.

Root Pouch Containers

Some Nature Hills plants arrive in a Root Pouch, a breathable fabric container made from 100% recycled materials. Root Pouches encourage denser root development through air pruning, which discourages root circling and promotes a stronger, more fibrous root ball at the time of planting.

There are two types. Knowing which one you have changes how you plant:

Degradable (brown or tan fabric): Plant the entire pouch directly in the ground. The fabric breaks down naturally in the soil over time.
Non-degradable (black or gray fabric): Remove the pouch before planting. Cut the bottom open with scissors, then peel the sides away. The fibrous root ball will hold its shape.

Not sure which type you have? Check the tag on your plant or contact us and we will confirm.

One of the very best on the market, the Peaches and Cream Honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum 'Inov 86') is a more compact and controlled form of Honeysuckle Vine! This fabulous Ornamental Vine produces drop-dead gorgeous blooms, but remains very well-behaved! You'll love each decorative bud and ornamental bloom from spring through the summer.

It features deep, dark, maroon-colored buds that burst open to reveal exotic scarlet, peaches, pinks, and cream-colored blooms. These dramatic, multi-colored blooms start in spring and rebloom through summer. Each bloom has a delicate, sweet, yummy fragrance that will perfume your landscape in a truly delightful way.

Butterflies and Hummingbirds will come to call! Your neighbors will thank you! Growing throughout USDA growing zones 4 to 9, these are fantastic dwarf-sized vine. Peaches and Cream grows just 5-6 feet in height and spreads 18-30 inches wide!

Planting and Application:

The self-supporting twining stems of Honeysuckle Vines will clutch at and grow along just about any structure. Why not cover that ho-hum chain link fence? Allow it to scramble over the rock pile in the backyard. Use these dwarf, woody vines anywhere you want to see a pop of color. Grow them along a trellis, or use existing hardscape materials.

To cover short chain-link fences, plant them 2 or 3 feet apart, and work to spread them wide along the width of your fence. It won't take long for them to billow up and over. If you have a lot of bare ground to cover, try them as a groundcover and low-growing garden filler! Allow them to spread out and scramble as they will.

It's quite simple to let them do their thing and train themselves up a trellis, arbors, pole or tower. It won't need much help from you. Plant them in large containers at the base of a gazebo or pergola, or plant them in the ground. Use it to creep along the ground along the top and drape down the retaining wall. Punch up the mailbox or lamp-post in a pretty way.

Try planting it with another climber, like a Clematis or a Climbing Rose! They'll mingle together on the trellis to boost the impact of color and fragrance. Use as backdrops or tall focal points in your Cottage or Rock Garden, or in your cutting garden for scented blooms!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

These fragrant vines will thrive in full sun or part shade in just about any soil type, as long as it is well-drained. The more sun, the better! Peaches and Cream is an improved selection that tolerates heat and humidity. It will resist yucky old mildew, and can even withstand periodic drought. Just be sure to provide your vines with good air circulation and a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch and compost over the soil surface.

In Zones 8 - 9, Honeysuckle Vines may display evergreen foliage. Otherwise, this Vine behaves as a deciduous plant that will lose its leaves in winter and grow them back in spring. You'll find yourself babying this pretty plant, encouraging it to take the next step up the trellis.

In the first season, you'll want to be gentle as you tie them up with fabric ties to create a solid screen. After a season or two? It can scramble up on last year's growth. You'll be out there looking at the blooms, anyway. Just tuck in any errant branchlets, or weave them through the support. Prune in the early spring or renewal prune every 3-5 years, Honeysuckle Vines can even tolerate hard pruning if they become overgrown.
