Getting More Flowers on Honeysuckle Vine

Prune Hard in Late Summer

Cut back the vine severely after flowering (late summer). This stimulates new growth that will bear next year’s flowers.

Apply a fertilizer formulated for flowering vines/shrubs in spring and early summer. Stop by early fall to avoid tender growth before frost.

Ensure at least 6 hours of sun. Provide a sturdy trellis; honeysuckle blooms best on new wood.
