Description

Lonicera x heckrottii 'Gold Flame' is an award-winning, climbing Honeysuckle, named after the fantastic colour of its pink/orange flowers (often considered to be the brightest of all Honeysuckle flowers).

Strong and fast-growing, Honeysuckle 'Gold Flame' is best planted against a sturdy climbing support, such as a trellis or obelisk, in a full sun position for the best blooms, although it will tolerate some partial shade. Happily planted in most moist well-draining soils with an approximate height and spread of 6 x 4 metres in 20 years.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

  • Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
  • Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
  • Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
  • To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

  • Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
  • Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
  • Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
  • Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

  • Water generously around the base of the plant.
  • If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
