how fast does honeysuckle vine grow
Honeysuckle vines are grown for their showy, fragrant flowers, which are a favorite of hummingbirds and butterflies. The honeysuckle fruits also attract birds. Honeysuckle vines can quickly cover a trellis or fence. Exactly how fast they grow depends on the variety, soil fertility, moisture and sunlight. In a woody plant, fast growth means more than 2 to 3 feet per year. Honeysuckles easily outdo that by growing from 7 to 30 feet, depending on the variety and conditions. Because flowers are produced on 1- or 2-year-old wood, the vine should be pruned back after flowering every year so it can produce new wood.
