Where better to plant
The best soil for the plant is light, moist, drained and organically flavored loam. Ideal soil with a neutral reaction.
Groundwater should be no closer than one and a half meters to the surface, too much moisture will ruin the root system. 
Honeysuckle loves the sun, but does not tolerate a strong wind. The place should be sheltered from the draft and as well as possible lit. Many varieties feel quite normal in the penumbra.
Planting seedlings in the suburbs
In Moscow, it is better to land at the beginning of September, the air temperature at this time is about +10 ° C. The weather is favorable for rooting young bushes. During the winter period, the honeysuckle will have time to settle down and will begin to form buds in the spring.
Before planting, carefully clean the soil, dig and fertilize with organic matter: 1 square meter. m added to the manure to 30 g of superphosphate and potassium sulfate.
As an organic fertilizer, straw, pigeon dung, bone meal, fish meal, milk whey, potato peelings, egg shells, banana skins, onion peel, nettle are used.If necessary, deoxidize the soil and add up to 400 g of lime.

How to care for a blooming liana
Honeysuckle unpretentious, care for her is the same as for any climbing plant: watering, fertilizing, cleansing the soil, pruning.
Watering
For normal development shrubs need moisture, pristvolny circle should not dry. Watering is carried out either in the morning or in the evening, trying to moisten the soil 10 cm deep. About 10 liters of water are poured under each bush. Especially carefully you need to monitor the condition of the soil during the flowering period. 
Important! If the summer is dry, water up to six times a month.
Support
The support for the creeper will suit any, most importantly, to be strong: metal or wooden batten, strong cord or mesh. Note: twist shoots clockwise.
For a beautiful form of liana requires strong support. It can be made of metal or wood, in the form of slats, stretched cords, mesh, or other means. The first shoots are evenly distributed over the support, given that the vine twists clockwise.
Soil care
For the root system of vines important timely access of oxygen and a sufficient amount of nutrients. Therefore, it is important to clean the soil of the tree circle from weeds, to carefully loosen, taking into account the proximity of the roots to the surface. 
To preserve moisture after watering, the trunk circle is mulched using organic fertilizer or peat. Carry out the procedure at least twice a month. A layer of mulch - 4 cm.
Top dressing
Every third year of life the plants carry out autumn digging with the obligatory introduction of organic matter, per 1 sq. Km. m - 10 kg of manure, 20 g of potassium salt and double superphosphate.
Every spring, before the activity of the kidneys, 30 g of ammonium nitrate per square meter are applied. m, the same procedure is carried out after the buds have dissolved.
In July, double superphosphate is added again, reducing the rate to 15 g, adding 10 g of saltpeter. 
Pruning
The first formative pruning vines spend immediately after planting, pruning the shoots to a third of the length so that they do not fork.
In the second year of life, unpromising shoots are removed, leaving three or four strong branches. When the shoots twist around the support, they are sent in the right direction so that they do not grow above a given height, or cut.
Every year they carry out sanitary pruning, removing broken or damaged, weak branches. You should not be zealous, so as not to reduce the pomp of the plant. For example, after wintering, not all branches seem to be viable.
Do not rush to remove them, wait for the heat. Usually dried up twigs wake up, and those that "did not come to themselves," you need to cut. 
Every five years, a rejuvenating haircut is performed, cutting off half of the existing stalks. From the buds located at the base, grow new branches.
Preparing for the winter
Despite the frost resistance, the plant is still desirable to cover. Pre-clean the tree trunk circle from the remnants of fallen leaves, twigs. The branches gently bend down to the ground, removing them from the supports. You can purchase special materials for shelter, or cover with spruce branches and dry foliage.

Berries are used both fresh and harvested for the winter (jam, jam, compote). As you can see, the plant decorates the site, and fills the air with a subtle pleasant aroma, and gives tasty, rich in vitamins, fruits.

Honeysuckle Capricole grows well in pluton, but it will not bloom as abundantly as in the sun.amplex

I really like honeysuckle capricole with its wonderful aroma. It grows in my 6 years. They write about honeysuckle that it sits and hardly grows for 3 years, and then it sharply grows - and that's true. But I noticed how it grew in me, at the time of flowering, the leaves inside the vines began to turn yellow and fall off. The honeysuckle from this began to lose its decorative effect.elena550707
