How to care for your Lonicera Winter Beauty
- Soil: Prefers well-draining soil that is moist but not waterlogged. It can grow in a variety of soil types but does best in slightly acidic to neutral soil. If your soil is heavy or clay-like, add some compost or well-rotted manure to improve its drainage and fertility.
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist. However, avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
- Fertiliser: Does not require a lot of fertiliser, but you can apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in Spring to help promote healthy growth and blooming.
- Pruning: Can be pruned in late Winter or early Spring to remove any damaged or dead wood and to shape the plant. You can also lightly prune it after flowering to encourage bushier growth.
By following these simple care instructions, you can enjoy a healthy and attractive Lonicera Pileata in your garden for many years to come.
