I have a mature honeysuckle on a north facing wall which never flowers though it looks healthy enough. Any advice would be welcome

Some are a bit shy to flower, but although they like their feet in damp shade they do like some sunshine on their face
... how much do they get there?
Is it pruned and if so when? Most lonicera flower on growth made the previous year so if it's pruned late summer/autumn that might be the reason.
If it's neither of those reasons a dose or two of tomato feed might encourage it
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Thanks Dove. It does get plenty of sun but hasn’t been pruned for the last 3 years since we’ve been here. Will try a
feed of tomorite
