Questions and Answers

Have a question about Lonicera nitida? We are here to help.

Hi. Why is the 2.5 lt. container a 30cm height plant but the 1.5 and the 3.5 lt. is only 15cm. high? approximately how long would it take for the plants to reach around 1.5 mt.? Thanks so much

They are at different heights due to being recently trimmed to keep them bushy. I estimate 3 years to reach 1.5 m tall. This could be less if they are watered and fertilised regularly.
