Ask the Expert: Why my pink honeysuckle won’t bloom?
A friend of mine gave me a cutting of his mother’s pink honeysuckle last summer. It has gotten huge, but has not bloomed. I have it in a pot right now because I can’t decide where to plant it. Could this by why it is not blooming? Emily

I believe the particular type of honeysuckle you have is Lonicera x bella. If this is the case it won’t bloom until summer. Leaving it in a pot should not keep it from blooming. However, I would try to find a place for it as soon as possible. It will go through a slight transplant shock when planted and it would be better to this before it starts blooming.
