#ProPlantTips For Care

Versatile, easy to grow, and hardy, Dropmore Scarlet Honeysuckle thrives in a wide range of USDA 4 through 8 hardiness zones. Just provide good air circulation and water to keep these two-tone flowers going strong all summer!

Loving the full sun, Dropmore Scarlet is highly disease resistant and adaptable. These are appreciative of some afternoon shade during the hottest parts of summer. Honeysuckle are not particular about soil type, though these Vines love any well-drained soil that ranges from acidic to alkaline.

Take care when applying lawn fertilizers near flowering shrubs. These high-nitrogen formulas are designed to produce foliage, but will not support flower development. Instead, apply an all-purpose fertilizer for blooming plants in early spring. Reapply in mid-summer, following label directions for application rates.

Flowering best in average moisture, Dropmore Scarlet is very drought tolerant once established. Extremely easy care and low maintenance, these won't need pruning but won't mind some pruning in late winter if in need of some shaping up.
