It most certainly does attract a wide variety of wildlife. We've had gibbons, orangutangs, poison arrow tree frogs, puffins, skunks, rattlesnakes and grizzly bears already. My wife is also adamant that she saw a tyrrannosaurus rex building a nest in it last week. Not bad for ten miles north east of Doncaster.
Wth lol
I was reading "The wild honey suckle" by philip Freneau (1752-1832).I did not realise it is a climber plant.Still beautiful poem with a message that nothing lasts.

I left a huge catapillar on one of my honeysuckle bushes last summer and it devoured most of it
I agree, the honeysuckle is a fantastic way to attract a huge range of wildlife into gardens. My fence is caked with the stuff, and just like your garden, it is the typical sparrow hangout! I will definitely take a look at the other climbers in the shop! Keep up the good work! 😊
Hi Jack - thanks so much, everyone is so supportive and encouraging I can't see me stopping soon :) It's a fantastic habitat and the moths it attracts in the evening are many - and the sparrows enjoy it immensely, so good to hear them squabbling huh? :) Really appreciate your support, best wishes - Joel
Great share, thank you!! Leaving full support my friend.
Have a Lovely Day 💝Greetings! like113
Thank you! You too! I really do appreciate your kind words and support - best wishes, Joel
I've got honeysuckle in my garden they are beautiful and fragrant I'm happy to see all the bees .
What gorgeous flowers :)
Absolutely - so good for wildlife too :) Hope you're doing well, best wishes as always - Joel
Love Honeysuckle...what a beautiful one that is..ty for sharing Joel🎉 ( I am going to have an shop on line very soon) im spoilt for choice)🤔
Hello you! Thank you so much, we actually have the peat-free super plugs available now with some great species and all good for wildlife, they really are looking outstanding and ready to ship, also being grown on into 9cm size as I type - best wishes as always, Joel 🙌
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton Yes I have been looking on line at your array of goodies...ive let my new ( old) lawn grow and have wild marigolds and what looks like little head dandelions on tall stems? Super excited,and Ive told my 5yr old Grandson we are going to have a barrel pond too..🤞🐸🦎
So beautiful sharing 👍 stay blessed 🙏
Thank you! You too! I appreciate your support :) Best wishes, Joel
Love the scent from honeysuckle, it reminds me of my grandads garden. I may just have the perfect space for one behind the greenhouse.
Me too Mark, there's something very nostalgic about the scent I agree - behind the greenhouse sounds perfect, you'll still be able to see and smell it :) Best wishes, Joel
I'll definitely be putting some in my wild fence 😊. initially I was excited to try attracting more birds to the garden but find I'm enjoying learning about different flowers and wildlife too.
Hello there :) That's great to hear, am so pleased this is a journey you never quite thought you'd go on, there is some amazing stuff out there to learn - only a few years ago when researching more on the hummingbird hawkmoth (who enjoys this plant) I found out that on the day of the D-Day Landings in 1944, we had an absolute swarm come over across the English channel - what a sight that must have been :) I hope you are enjoying the rest of the channel too - best wishes, Joel
Great video again , I have. A honey suckle that I bought late last year and I’m going to plant it out after the frosts have passed up here , can’t wait to see all the species it will bring to the garden , keep it up 😁
Hi Danny - thanks so much for your support, appreciated :) Let me know who visits, I promise you'll be rewarded for your efforts - best wishes, Joel
Love my honeysuckle......didn’t know about the bats! Always learn something watching you vids......thanks Joel 😁👍
Me too Lynn, and one thing I found out recently was that Dormice rely on this plant heavily, they even use honeysuckle bark to build nests and eat the flowers for energy :) Thanks for your support - best wishes, Joel
We're all always learning. I've been gardening for over 30 years and have learned so much from this channel. Very inspiring.
I'm clearing my garden to create a wildlife sanctuary. I've had to have some old trees felled which I hated doing but they were too close to the house and could have fallen in the wind. I have a privet hedge which grew wild. It's about 70 feet long. My plan is to plant a mixed wildlife hedge in front of it and pretty much leave it to grow wild. Where one tree has been removed I'm going to build strong trellis and grow a variety of climbers up it. Honeysuckle will definitely be included.
I'm thinking about creating a TH-cam channel to chart my progress and hopefully invite ideas.
Yes I agree, Honeysuckle is wonderful for the garden. Here in the states, the Hummingbirds love it! :)
Hummingbirds... I hope to see some up close and personal in October this year, I absolutely can't wait! Best wishes, as always - Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton I saw hummingbirds in my garden the same year I planted honeysuckle. Best of luck!
Wow this took me back to my childhood Joel. My dad had honeysuckle in the garden. Always remember it being covered in bees 🙂👍
Hey Mick :) It really is a plant full of nostalgia for many, me included - I do wonder why it started to be seen less and less in gardens but so glad that more people are including it now - a heavenly scent, full of memories :) Best wishes, Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton perfectly put Joel 👌
brilliant joel i enjoyed that ... last year i managed to plant some wild everlasting sweet pea... iv seen wild honeysuckle up our lanes growing all through the hedge rows realy beautiful flowers... hope all is well 👍
Hi there :) There's a lot in the woodlands close to here, and the scent is incredible in the evening - everlasting sweetpeas are another of my favourites, stunning scent too :) Best wishes, Joel
Superb Joel. There is wild honeysuckle in the hedgerows that line some of my local walks and it is stunning mixed in with Old Man's Beard and Ivy providing a fantastic wildlife service station. The bats patrol the hedge line with great enthusiasm. I'm going to plant some in my laid hedge 👍. Thank you. Paul 😊 #natureistheantidote
There really is so much to see on a proper countryside walk isn't there? It must look fantastic and the scent it provides is great too. It will, of course, look great in your laid hedge and provide even more habitat/fodd :) Brilliant - thanks Paul, best wishes - Joel
I find a few Honeysuckles growing over a bower like you have here a wonderful addition to even a small garden, the scent in the evening is really wonderful, and the noise of the Hummingbird Hawkmoths is a real treat in the evening, we also get the Southern White Admiral larvae on ours, but no House Sparrows , but this plant really is an essential climber if you sit in the garden in the evening, stay safe! Chris B.
Hello! :) You've just reminded me that I have footage of a hummingbird hawkmoth laying eggs in the back garden on Hedge Bedstraw last year! When researching them a few years ago I read on a BBC Archive article that they had swarmed here in great numbers on the day of the D-Day Landings - and they really do feed on the same plants at exactly the same time of day - the last few years it's been at 2pm in the front garden on Red Valerian. Was so chuffed to see that female laying last year - hoping this means we'll see more this year :) You're right about the scent, so many moths around the flowers in the evening. Best wishes, Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton On D- Day landing day! A reverse friendly invasion! Really good that you saw a Hummingbird H/M actually laying , the larvae are quite difficult to spot as the foodplant grows in such large masses, and the normal trick of looking for the frass does not work. Chris B.
my Honeysuckle last year had a first in my garden a Humming bird hawk moth turn up to feed on the flowers . Im keeping my fingers crossed for this year in the hope i get another one .
That's great! They love the honeysuckle and the one in my garden is giving off the most beautiful and heady scent at night now :) I read that humming bird hawkmoths go to the same pollen source at exactly the same time of day and they're overwintering in the UK better now :) Hope you see some more too - another insect that is attracted and that you might see in the evening is the Privet Hawkmoth as honeysuckle is one of their larval food plants - you might be interested in this short video here:
th-cam.com/video/NWlHCBSuhQw/w-d-xo.html
Forgive me if you've seen it already :) Best wishes, Joel
Thanks Joel. I had a problem with the mildew a few years ago and dug mine out. However, I love the fragrance so much I'm going to put in a new one this year - and keep it better watered. Thanks again, DA - Vancouver, WA
Hey Donald :) The usual cause of mildew can be poor air circulation around the plant, but as you say if you keep it moist but WELL drained it will thrive - the rewards of planting this climber are many :) Best wishes to you and yours in Vancouver, and thanks again for your support - Joel
Mulch, mulch, mulch!
Thanks for the video Joel.
I have a very old Honey suckle growing through my wild plumb tree.
Hey George :) I hope to reach you by the time it is in full-flower so I can see this for myself, sounds a wonderful setting :) Best wishes, Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton Joel!! The wind has uprooted my Wild plum tree. It’s leaning onto the neighbours large apple tree.
Can this be rescued by some sort of prop. The tree is tall as my house. Must be about 30 years old as it was established when we bought the house 21 years ago. My favourite tree as well☹️
@@george-1961 Hi George - I'm back home now after securing the site we were at, can you send me a photo to the hazelwood email please and I'll do my best to help - so sorry to hear this, it really is causing a lot of damage - send a photo asap and your phone number and I can give you a quick call after seeing some pics - sorry for the delay - Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton Hi Joel
Just sent Nikki the images. I also tweeted you on Twitter earlier on.
Look forward to speaking to you 🤞🏻
I have 6 honeysuckle in my 2 gardens, they are amazing. The smell is beautiful. I’ve recently put a nesting box in the largest one, as the sparrows love it. I didn’t know they could grow in shade. I may have to purchase another one now for a shady spot! Thank you for another great video .
Hi Liz - yes, it should do fine in the shade, I sometimes have to remind myself that their natural habitat, and where they thrive, is in dappled shade of woods :) I'm glad you enjoyed this video - best wishes, Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton I actually have one in a very sunny spot that has smothered a large rose bush. I have been thinking I could cut it back a bit and move it to another spot. It’s only a couple of years old but I don’t want it to take over the rose.
@@Readingandgardening Hi Liz, good idea, but do make sure you move it before Spring sets in, it will give it a better chance of establishing elsewhere :) Best wishes, Joel
Thank you for all that information. I really love that honeysuckle. The problem I have, is not knowing how to attach or guide that beauty to the wall. Specifically to a small wall of my front porch. Please help !! Love your channel.❤❤
Thanks for this video Joel. Just at the right time really! I’ve got one last year and it is still in a pot as I don’t really have any more space to cram in it 😂 (husband has refused to buy a bigger with a bigger garden) but I’ll definitely find a spot somewhere and plant it out this spring 😅😊
Haha re husband Nittima :) They do absolutely fine in pot as long as the roots have sufficient space and the soil is free-draining as they don't like being damp constantly - best wishes, Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton re-husband? How earth haven’t I thought about that before!! 😂 probably a lot easier as well (sorry husband if you’re
reading this! It’s Joel’s idea all along. Please don’t divorce me 😂)
@@dip_emb_mexuk Brilliant! Haha
I'm seriously considering this plant for my backyard next year, but possibly the white with yellow variety. I'm currently reading the English Cottage Garden book and this plant is mentioned throughout the early centuries to. I have a climbing rose to and I think in combination with a Hedera climber it will look amazing on my wall fences. I hope it will visually make the garden look bigger👍🏻🌿
Sounds great! The yellow and white will perform just as well and this is the species that is found in woodland here - it will be an excellent plant to add to any Cottage style garden :) Best wishes, Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton That sounds good. I saw a lot of other native plant species being mentioned in the historical part of the book, where you talked about in your videos. It's nice to learn about these plants and incorporate them in my own garden over time.
I love the look of the yellow and white ones.. Are they more Vigerous? X
@@davenadainton4209 I don't have any experience yet with honeysuckle or hedera climbers, so I don't know😁
I've got two varieties and the new leaves have just started to appear. Very good way to soften a boring brick wall.
Absolutely they are, and as mentioned in the video, provide excellent refuge for birds as well as the nectar for bees :) The leaves are just appearing on mine too - best wishes Ed - Joel
Oh Gosh this sounds absolutely delightful. Would it thrive & flourish well in tropical Caribbean? Does it grow from se3ds & do you ship & post seeds internationally?
Give them a nice deep soil which holds a bit of moisture- but not saturated , to keep powdery mildew away.
Great advice Daz, thank you :) Best wishes, Joel
Thanks for sharing, is the flower called a firecracker honeysuckle?
When wld be the best time to take cuttings of these for propagating?
Is there anything special I can do to rehab one? I just picked one up that was need of some tlc. I have given compost and azomite, as well as some support. Just curious if there's anything else I should be doing? I have it in sun at the moment but could move to shade if that would be better for rehabbing. Thank you!
Hi there, just watched your video for the second time and I'm Looking for advice please. I have a very old honeysuckle growing up a trellis on a summer house. Every year its being attacked by tiny tiny aphids and they are sitting in the cups of the flower buds and it sends the whole plant yellow. The honey suckle isn't a scented one which is disappointing, but I'd love a scented one that isn't overly vigorous. I'm looking at taking this old one out and replacing it with a different one as its causing the same problem every year. . Would you have any recommendations please, for a more resistant, scented honey suckle
😊😊😊
What is the intro music please??
Sorry if this is a dumb question…but is it a bad idea to plant in my fruit/vegetable garden? I always think of moths and birds in there as a bad thing since they want to eat it all! I live in the mountains so I have to use nets for some things to protect it.
When I was a kid we use to pull the stamens on wild honeysuckle and suck the nectar, it was delicious. Where I live in the states, on the shore in Maryland it grows wild in the woods around here.
Hi there :) I have heard this before, although I didn't partake as a child... the other plant that I do know that people regularly try is White Dead Nettle, in the same manner :) It's certainly a good reason for woodland walks - best wishes, Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton
I haven't seen or heard of White Dead Nettle, I'll have to search for seeds, I've seen some channels from the UK cook Nettles.
@@itsmewende They do indeed :) When searching (and I'm sure this plant may already be in North America now) the latin name you need is Lamium Album - hope this helps, let me know how you get on - best wishes, Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton
Thank you, I'm going to search right now.
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton
Just order some, hopefully I'll be growing those this summer. Thanks again =^)
Never thought about growing it up another plant, even though that's how it work in nature! Is there any guidance on how far away you keep the roots from one another or is it just a good companion plant?
Hi there :) Yes, seeing the vast amounts in woodland areas does remind you that it finds natural support in the wild - I would recommend planting at least 1 ft away and then "leaning" the plant slightly into the one you want support from, although it will find it's way naturally too - hope this helps, best wishes - Joel
Hi Joel. I have a variety of Japanese honeysuckle in my garden which I planted two years ago. Is this variety okay for wildlife? Or would a more native honeysuckle be more beneficial? Thanks for the videos by the way. Looking forward to see more!
Hi Jason - the Japanese varieties will provide nectar for bees and other pollinators :) With my garden designs I also include non-natives but those that are purely beneficial for insects/wildlife etc, it's good to have native wildflowers etc of course but plants like verbena bonariensis are also fantastic for many insects, buddleja too :) There would be no harm in buying a native to add to the mix of course and you can find them on www.wildyourgarden.com - best wishes, Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton Brilliant. Thanks Joel. Yeah I took your advice from a previous video and planted a light colour variety of buddleja to attract more insects. I already planted a verbena bonariensis which the butterflies seem to love!
I have a very old honey suckle that grows up into the hawthorns, it doesn’t seem to flower well anymore, I know you said they like shady conditions but do you find your’s flowers better in the sun? I had just ordered one moments before you’d posted this video up earlier as well !
Hello :) Yes, well... it does flower in the shady parts but is more prolific where it can reach the sun, they do grow in the wild in shaded woodland of course and that is dappled light in the Spring when it will be growing it's new leaves - mine definitely reaches for the sky and is a profusion by June - hope this helps - best wishes, Joel
Every year, something causes the first flush of buds on my honeysuckle to drop off before they open. Any idea what might be causing the problem? The plant goes on to flower normally as summer progresses, only the late spring/early summer buds seem to be affected.
Hi Ruth, although I can't be sure of a specific reason for your bud-drop on the honeysuckle I have heard that it can be two reasons: aphids and a lack of water - I would of course not recommend pesticides but you could try watering it more just before it comes into bud and regularly throughout - if it's still doing it then it may well be the aphids. If you're gardening with nature in mind, which I expect you are already, then larger insects and birds will be attracted to it and help alleviate the numbers of aphids for feeding to their young. Sorry I can't be of more help but I hope this helps a little - best wishes, Joel
I've a honeysuckle in a pot on a North wall and it hasn't done very well the past couple of years. Not sure if it doesn't like being contained or the wall is too cold for it. Brill videos. Everyone should wild their gardens.
Hi there - mine does tend to flower better or more prolifically where it can reach the sun, they do like space around their roots so a larger pot (if possible) may be better if you get a chance - they shouldn't mind the cold too much as they are used to cool woodland settings and the shade that brings with it, but mine definitely likes to reach for the sun :) Thanks ever so much for your support, it's appreciated - Best wishes, Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton Thank you for the advice will try a bigger pot and maybe add some leaf mold. Love your videos so helpful and inspiring. Nice to find a channel for like minded people who love wild gardens.
@@SisterDogmata You're very welcome :) Thank you for the kind words and encouragement, they really do make a difference - best wishes, Joel
Hi Joel, do you know how honeysuckle will do in containers? I think my balcony would benefit from some of those flowers.
Hi there William - they will do absolutely fine, try to get as big a pot as you can as their roots don't like being cramped, and water regularly but ensure the soil is free-draining so they don't become sodden as this can cause the mildew problem that others have said about - remember too that they'll do absolutely fine in shade - let me know how you get on :) Best wishes, Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton Thanks - I'll make an effort once spring has started to shove its nose further North. The poet who wrote "If winter comes can spring be far behind?" didn't live in Sweden.
@@williammallender8391 Haha - that did make me laugh :)
Do you recommend Jasmine or honeysuckle against a wall on deck?
Hi Sue, it should be fine - as honeysuckle grows naturally in woodland it doesn't mind shade at all and as long as the container is big enough it will thrive easily :) I hope this is helpful, the scent these plants give off at night is just wonderful - best wishes, Joel
Hi Joel, what could I plant that will grow amongst my privet hedge without it taking over the hedge completely?
Hi Karlito :) Honeysuckle will do fine, as will Jasmine - these can always be cut back if they are taking over too much but both like to grow in "wooded" areas so will cope with any shade and enjoy the support of the privet hedge - you are so lucky to have a privet hedge, do you get the Privet Hawkmoth where you are? Here's one I was lucky to find in my garden last year:
th-cam.com/video/NWlHCBSuhQw/w-d-xo.html
Let me know if you need any other help :) Best wishes to you - Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton hi Joel, we have had the larvae but never seen the actual moths! We have a bat box directly above the hedge on a neighbours wall so maybe they get them before we get to see the moths? 😬 that’s brilliant news as I have recently bought a jasmine plant an I think I’ll now plant that amongst the hedge 😊👍🏻 I really appreciate your advice 👍🏻👍🏻
@@karlitobergkamp8082 Oh I do hope you get to see them - the larvae are fantastic aren't they! But yes, unfortunately bats will swoop down and take them - you are very welcome to the advice and I'm happy to give it - glad the jasmine purchase has a cause now - the hedge will look wonderful, and smell just as good :) Keep me updated on the moths and other visitors you get - best wishes, as always - Joel
I’ve already got one of these joel but it didn’t flower much at all last year joel any ideas why ? 🐸💚🐸
Mine tends to produce more blooms the more sun it gets, the close-ups in this video I actually took by standing on the kitchen roof, it's that tall now with the buddleja! It will still grow and try to find light, as mine has done, but it's definitely had more blooms in the sunnier parts, that might well be to do with it - unless you tell me yours is in full sun all day of course! Let me know - best wishes, Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton ahh makes sense mine only gets afternoon sun so that will be why we it don’t flower like yours. Thanks joel keep up the amazing work 🐸💚🐸
@@UkAmphibians Not sure how long you've had it, but it does take a year to establish itself, give it time and it will reach higher and you'll have more blooms :)
How long does Honeysuckle take to grow? I planted one last spring. There’s not too much to it currently but hoping to see some growth this year maybe
Hi there - you'll be pleased to know that they do often take circa 1 year to establish and start growing properly, so expect good things come Spring :) Your patience will be rewarded, and the wildlife will bring even more rewards - best wishes, Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton thanks Joel. Yes I’m growing it up a fence and it has grown but it’s very thin. Hoping for growth this spring/summer. Fingers crossed
@@MrC-ov1ht It will happen, they often look straggly and then burst into life :)
Also remember the saying, First year they sleep, second year they creep, third year they leap.
I went to web page and unfortunately they have none of the ones shown here for sale.
This is the native one to the UK, available in the store here and attracts a lot of insects:

That is great that you were able to go to the website. I am totally blind, and I have no vision whatsoever and he kind of just mumbled through his website name in the video as opposed to pronouncing it or speaking. Clearly, he kind of rushed through the website name.
Hi Joel, do butterflies visit honeysuckle in the day?
Hi there Elliot, apologies for the delay, just trying to catch up with everyone. The White Admiral does use honeysuckle, depending on where you are in the UK, but they're in massive decline unfortunately. However, honeysuckle does provide important berries for birds, dormice love honeysuckle for the shelter and food it provides and of course many moths utilise the nectar at night. I hope this helps :) Best wishes, Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton do butterflies come for the nectar in the flowers in the day or is it just bumblebbes and hawk moths?
@@ElliotPorter65You might see Brimstone on them during the day Elliot, but it's only really White Admiral and Brimstone. You're right in that hummingbird hawk moths return at the very same time each day, I've tested this theory and it's true! It's such a great plant for so many creatures, aside from the wonderful scent at night - we sell the UK native variety at www.wildyourgarden.com and if you buy any products from us I'm happy to provide free professional advice :) Best wishes, Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton thank you Joel!
Im training mine into a donut shape with the hole in the middle with assorted plants 😜
Great idea! They certainly cope with being "manipulated", growing in woodlands etc and having to establish through various trees, branches etc they cope well :) Best wishes, Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton I got a winter honeysuckle in the middle too I'm hoping to trail around the donut too, but it doesn't seem to grow as fast 😜

@@nathanpinch8079 You'll be rewarded Nathan, I promise :) Best wishes, Joel
In my area where I live, honeysuckles are flimsy and spread like clematis and not much..
After it is established, I wonder about giving it a hard prune after the frost season has passed. Then maybe prune it again as it reaches a foot and a half higher. I have heard this plant does benefit from pruning. I have one that is newly planted, and it is spindly, but that is the way a lot of vines seem to start out.
