Sickly honeysuckle
« on: June 15, 2008, 09:16:15 »
My 'Halls prolific' honeysuckle which I planted last year looks very sickly and has mildew.  Any ideas on how to revive it?

Mildew on honeysuckle can be the result of dryness at the roots, so that's worth checking. The plant will also need feeding after a severe attack of mildew to perk it up. The mildew itself can be dealt with by spraying every few days with one part milk in nine parts water until it's clear. Good luck!

Thanks Rosa, I'll give that a try.
