Q: I am planning on purchasing several of these from you for planting this spring. I have two questions: 1) How does this plant climb, tendrils or do I have to tie it up, or something else? 2) I have just moved to Western Tennessee, and I don't know when I will be able to plant this? Do you? Also, 3) When do you ship it?

Asked by: jan williams - 11/20/2015

A: 1) You'll need to train it. It does not use tendrils. 2) You can plant coral honeysuckle anytime. It generally stays green year round. 3) We can ship it whenever you're ready for it.

Q: I recently purchased a few potted Coral Honeysuckle plants from you guys. How fast should I expect this to grow in part shade and moist conditions?

Asked by: Steve - 3/21/2020

A: It should grow several feet this year. It will need to be trained, so provide something for it to climb. Twine would work or a trellis that the vine can wrap it self around.

Q: If this is planted on a chain-link fence, would it spread and be trained to move horizontally? Or, does it need to have a trellis or support that is the full height of it's growth? How tall should it's support be?

Asked by: Wolly - 3/29/2020

A: You should be able to train it to grow horizontally. A four-foot fence would be fine. Stems will keep trying to grow "up" but they can either be forced back down or trimmed.
