Vertical Color & Fragrance!
When choosing a location for Honeysuckle Vines, there should be a sturdy trellis or fence for them to climb because they climb by twining. Technically known as Bines, rather than Vines, due to this climbing method, which means that they will not be able to climb a surface that does not have anything to twist or wrap themselves around.
For sheer walls and other areas you want Honeysuckle to climb but have no footholds - secure heavy-duty twine, wire, or wire fencing to the area to give the vines something to grab hold of! Because of this method of ascending, there is no need to worry about persistent suckers or tendrils that dig into the wood and your home's paint job is safe as these will not adhere to your siding like Boston Ivy or Trumpet Vines can!
Train to climb up any obelisk, arbor, trellis, fence, or staircase railing you desire, so long as it is strong enough to support these plants at maturity. Train up a lattice wall for privacy, train up and around seating areas, on porches and patios, or even on a sunny balcony! You'll enjoy screening and shade. A flowering vine climbing a staircase or a column of your porch looks and smells divine!
Without strong, suitable support, your Vine will ramble and spill all over the ground, which is great if you want a fragrant, flowering groundcover! Slowing erosion on steep slopes, or transforming a hard-to-mow hillside into a fragrant accent with ease!
