I would love some friendly advice please on how to get the best from my plants ? I'm luck to have a south facing garden and have sun all day long image I have just bought some Honeysuckle as the smell reminds me of when I was a kid image And a Passiflora for the unusual flowers, I am going to get an arch for one of them ? And don't know what to do with the other ? I love gardening, makes me so happy but I am pretty new to it so any help is much appreciated image xxxx

    Hi SM2 image

    I'd grow the honeysuckle over an arch as it's pretty quick growing and will smell as you know lovely. The passion flower I'd put against your house wall on some trellis if there is a chance of doing that. They will grow in a good sized pot. Not checked where you live but they aren't fully hardy in some parts of the country so against a house wall is good. Beautiful flowers that you need to be able to get close to and admire.

    Honeysuckle will want it's roots to be cool and moist and in the shade and it's top in the sunshine, whereas Passiflora quite likes being totally in the sun all day. image
