Today I collected this self seeded #himalayanhoneysuckle from my friend’s garden. It’s looking a bit shell shocked at the moment so I’ve put in a pot in a sheltered spot for the time being so that it can recover. I’ve wanted one for ages.
I love them! Always have one (or 2)...don’t plant near a patio though as the seed pots stain the pavers. I am very sure it will bounce back and you can prune it in early spring anyway for lots of fresh growth. X x
Thanks for the tip about staining Claudia. I’ve been looking and hadn’t seen any for sale and then a random conversation with my friend and hey presto!@clipperty
I think they've got a bit of a reputation that they're hard to get rid off once you plant them so not as popular anymore. ☺ I love the berries/seeds 😍😍

The birds and bees love mine, its do pretty fir a long period too, I cut mine right back to the ground in spring and its 6ft again by autumn 😊
Yes Urzula, I understand they are a bit thuggish so I think I’ll be following Annie’s regime. @ublaszko @angiecrazycatlady Thanks both
