Honeysuckle: characteristics, planting and care

Its foliage can have different shades, from pale green to dark green and bluish. These flowers also offer several colors ranging from white to yellow, pink, red or orange. Surprisingly hardy, honeysuckle is very easy to care for and requires very little watering. It blooms between March and December, depending on the variety of honeysuckle.
In gardening, this climbing plant with long lianas is often used to embellish a facade, a fence or a structure such as a garden shed. In the ground or in a pot, it is a plant recommended for those who do not have a particularly green thumb and who want a flower garden all year round, thanks to the multiplication of its cuttings.
