About this plant
Lovely honeysuckle in warm shades of orange. It's not scented, but makes up for it with abundant clusters of long trumpet-shaped blooms. It flowers summer through to autumn, attracting pollinators. Grows to a height/spread of 5m and doesn't mind a little shade, so ideal for cheering up a wall or fence in a dull corner.

Spring
Spring - late · Outdoors
Feed with slow release fertiliser
Apply a general purpose slow release fertiliser, spreading it around the root area of the plant as it is coming into growth. (Or apply a liquid feed at regular intervals throughout the growing season.)
This is a simple way to provide a nutrient boost as a single annual procedure.
Spring-Autumn · Outdoors
Water to keep the soil moist
For best results, this plant needs soil that is always moist. Water deeply and regularly as soon as soil appears dry. Even for established plants in the ground, a dry week can cause problems with some soils. Check plants in pots more often, especially in hot weather. Or install an automatic irrigation system which will do the hard work for you, even when you are away on holiday.
Without regular watering some plants never fully regain their beauty.
