What Is Happening With My Honeysuckle? Please Help!

Question

We got this honeysuckle plant mid-summer and it was doing well and even bloomed. However, it is now looking SO SAD! Please help! Additionally, can I keep this plant in a container in the winter? Do I have to move it into the garage?

Answer 1

Most honeysuckles are hardy down to zone 4 so depending on the area of Minnesota, this plant should be hardy enough to plant in the ground now or keep in a non-heated garage over the winter. Be sure to give it a bit of water every few weeks during the winter months. It may have a few damaged stems or possibly had some powdery mildew on the leaves but overall most of the plant is green so it should recover well next spring.
