Why isn't Lonicera Japonica banned in the UK and the rest of Europe?

    Can’t grow snowdrops either or lily of the valley which I believe spreads easily if it’s happy.

    I love snowdrops. But find it hard to grow here.
    Debs, can't grow Lily of the Valley either.

    I hope folk realise my tongue was firmly in my cheek when I said snowdrops should be banned?
    Some folk are just a wee , teensy bit hysterical

    Case closed. In short, I trusted poor advice. I will say one thing though, the naturalists must be wrong in this aspect as we have "invasive" non-native plants in the UK and it is fine.

    Update: I replanted the root base of my Lonicera Japonica 'Cream Cascade' and gave it some fertiliser and some mulch so hopefully it comes back. Not sure what to do with the other one now though 🤔😂

    Keep it well watered for the first year 🤞

    It is/was almost a year old and was thriving. It was cut down to the ground when I removed it but replanted it yesterday. Hopefully, it will come back.
