Can Honeysuckle and Clematis work well together?

We have planted last year Two clematis's and a honeysuckle in the centre, all thriving at the moment, but were wondering would the clematis strangle the honeysuckle.


if the honeysuckle needs to be moved when is it best to do that

Can Honeysuckle and Clematis work well together?
The work very well together don't worry , what a lovely display you are going to have.
Reply:Have you got a picture of them?


What sort of clematis is it? (if it's montana, then that grows ultra fast)


How close are they planted?


Do they look too close?





I've moved and planted honeysuckle at just about everytime of year and can't say I've noticed any differences. I was told at college that the dormant season is the best time to move plants, but if they're as vigorous as honeysuckle I don't think it matters.
Reply:The honeysuckle will smother the clematis,unless it's a montana type.Eventually the roots of the clematis will not get enough rain as the HS has many branches and will cover the root area.Move HS in early march at first sign of wake up.Cut back hard before moving
Reply:As long as you don't mind them mingling together, they will be fine.





But if you're like me and like to keep the plants seperate, then the Honeysuckle will need more room





They won't strangle each other and should thrive
Reply:As long as the honeysuckle has room to spread and is not being smothered by the clematis, it should be ok!
Reply:the answer is yes I have Clematis growing through most of my shrubs besides up fences They are good to bring colour


to most plants
Reply:the honey suckle is a strong individual and shouldn't be smothered i think they will live together quite happily, just keep your eye on their condition it'll give you a reason to just admire them
Reply:You can train them to go where you want them. They'll be fine. And very pretty I bet!
Reply:Yes, they can work together.
