Honeysuckle not flowering

Have you been feeding them and, if so, with what?

I have three climbing honeysuckles, all in different situations in the garden. The longest established one, with it's roots confined into a container - has always flowered well; the aroma and display are fantastic right now and the bees love it. The other two, one in an exposed border the other in a bottomless container have been there probably three years now and are both just coming into flower for the first time. Luckily, I have plenty room to accommodate them just as plants.

In addition to suitable feeding, root position and mulching, you need to make sure you're pruning correctly as climbers and shrub varieties have different requirements and you can stop a season's flowering with incorrect pruning. Having said all that, they're not attention hungry.

RHS advice is sound.

I always thought they didn't need much attention. Maybe I'll try feeding them this year and see if that im[proves things.
