My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
Hello all, I've been trying to find out how fast this particular vine grows. I plan on planting it along the side of my garage which is 20 feet long. I have four plants. Will this be enough to cover the side and be fairly dense? Thanks!
If you mean the honeysuckle (Lonicera 'Dropmore Scarlet'), my experience is that it grew a good 3-4' wide but *may* grow wider if you have a wider trellis. My trellis was 2-2.5' wide. If you want a solid wall of vines you might add one or two more... but I suspect what you have might work. If you start with the first one 2.5' from one end, put the next two 5' apart, and the last one 2.5' from the other end, you should have one every 5' and that should give you fairly decent coverage but may not make a completely covered wall.
For me it was a rapid grower although I can't remember details on just how fast it shot up the side of the garage wall -- but it did reach the roof in fairly short order, was easy to grow (I had it in full sun and after the first year it only got rainfall watering), and the hummers loved it. I don't think I ever pruned it, either.
