How to Prune Japanese honeysuckle?
(Lonicera japonica var. chinensis)
Japanese honeysuckle, also known as Japanese honeysuckle
This vigorous, twining vine, known for its fragrant white flowers that mature into yellow, readily invades gardens. Japanese honeysuckle benefits from pruning to control growth and promote plant health. Prune in late winter or early spring before the active growth starts. Cut back overgrown stems, remove dead or weak growth, and thin as needed to shape and limit invasiveness. Regular pruning encourages more bloom production and maintains an attractive appearance.
