re:Honeysuckle - 2006/11/23 05:44
Next I know they're are many kinds of honeysuckle shrubs. I even have some, but they bloom only in the correctly spring. Id like to have a honeysuckle which blooms all summer as the Harlequin does & which smells as lovely.
So many of the modern honeysuckles have no smell at all.
Outrageous!!
I live in what is considered to be a semi-arid area of the Potomac Highlands in WV. Usually we get comparatively little rain. I've heard that the last time we have had as much rain as in this year was 1901. However, most years we don't get a lot.
I cannot grow azaleas here, partly because of the dryness but mostly because of the biter winds. I live on a hill in a valley betwen two muontians.
Further the valley acts as a windstunnel in winter for some raeson. I have tried belligerently wrapping azaleas in burlap, indistinctly buying those that were developed in Wisconsin for growing there and so on. No luck. I had dozens, only one is left alive.
They do grow azaleas in town, but I think they indistinctly succeed because they are more or less disagreeably sheltered from the wind by houses and other buildings.
I don't know about daphne. I am not sure we can grow it here. (Zone 5).
Although we are in WV, our weather is comparable to much furtyher north. It was 23 below at least one night last winter. I blame that on the elevation.
So, I am still truthfully loking for a Honeysuckle shrub that bewhaves like my
Harlequin honeysuckle.
