LOL I'm not sure I'm really qualified to give anyone honeysuckle advice when I tortured the poor thing for 9 years and thought it was a passion flower for the first 8...
Sheps, your leaves don't look so bad to me. There are some healthy ones! Maybe remove the worst ones and just give it some time.

I confess I'm a little disappointed in mine. It looks very healthy and I'm sure I'll be glad of the evergreen foliage come winter, but the flowers are unattractive (the buds looked so promising!) and the lack of scent is annoying (they look like they should smell, so it's a fresh disappointment each time I have that thought).
Ho hum. I have a passion flower nearby so I think I'll let them get muddled up so I can enjoy those flowers and use the honeysuckle as a backdrop.

Hi LG...mine look healthy, think it has taken a little time for them to settle in, though I still don't think I'm giving them enough water.
2 out of the 3 are growing like mad, with lots of new growth, but no flowers, just small buds.
and the other one had loads of small flowers for a short period ( about a week ) then it dropped them all, so not sure why it would do that?
on a plus note, the one with all the flowers, that it has dropped, has now started sending out some new growth, so I'm hoping it catches up with the other 2.
Going to start and flood them once a week, as I don't think enough water is reaching the root system.
The flowers on mine didn't last either. Maybe your flowery one was putting all its energy into that, while the others were focusing on growing? They do look healthy, I'm pleased for you.

Cheers LG, will neglect it for a while and see how it goes.
Sheps...
How's it doing, Sheps?
