Q: I am planning on purchasing several of these from you for planting this spring. I have two questions: 1) How does this plant climb, tendrils or do I have to tie it up, or something else? 2) I have just moved to Western Tennessee, and I don't know when I will be able to plant this? Do you? Also, 3) When do you ship it?

Asked by: jan williams - 11/20/2015

A: 1) You'll need to train it. It does not use tendrils. 2) You can plant coral honeysuckle anytime. It generally stays green year round. 3) We can ship it whenever you're ready for it.

Q: I recently purchased a few potted Coral Honeysuckle plants from you guys. How fast should I expect this to grow in part shade and moist conditions?

Asked by: Steve - 3/21/2020

A: It should grow several feet this year. It will need to be trained, so provide something for it to climb. Twine would work or a trellis that the vine can wrap it self around.
