How to get honeysuckle to flower?

exactly what I'm talking about this is world wide site zones are only generalized and basic predictions based on years of weather conditions. I'm guessing not enuf full all day sun This about fertilizers Nitrogen is often required in the largest amount. Nitrogen is an integral part of chlorophyll manufacture through photosynthesis, stimulates green leafy growth and promotes fruit and seed development; Phosphorus supports the transfer of energy throughout the plant for root development and flowering; Potassium is essential for photosynthesis and regulates many metabolic processes required for growth, fruit and seed development.

Avoid Over-Applications of Phosphorus

Do home gardeners and landscapers really need to apply high phosphorus fertilizers to get gorgeous blooms?

Answer – it depends. Most non-agricultural soils (unless acid sandy) contain adequate amounts of phosphorus. A soil test is the only way to know for sure if a flower garden needs phosphorus.

What harm could it do to apply extra phosphorus?

Answer - Excess phosphorus (and potassium) can be detrimental to the environment by moving in runoff water and posing a threat to water quality. Aquatic plants are limited by phosphate and the addition of phosphate will induce algal blooms (eutrophication). Algal blooms are followed by increased bacterial activity, resulting in lowered oxygen levels and the eventual death of fish and other animals.

Also, high levels of phosphorus, either from chemical fertilizers or natural sources such as bone meal or rock phosphate, can inhibit growth of beneficial soil organisms called mycorrhizal fungi. Without beneficial organisms, plants must put additional resources into root growth at the expense of other tissues and functions.

Nitrogen is much more likely to be limiting in gardens. Nitrogen deficiency is characterized by overall leaf yellowing (chlorosis). Among other things, the lack of nitrogen reduces the plant's ability to take up phosphorus. When nitrogen is restored to optimal levels, the plant's ability to use phosphorus from the soil is markedly improved. It's important to realize that when nitrogen is deficient it does not necessarily follow that other nutrients must be deficient as well.

So, don’t guess, soil test.

So welcome Barb! Wishing you luck! 🍀🌞

I am not touching it this year at all, will see what happens or doesn’t!

Thanks.
