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.

Purple honeysuckle (lonicera purpurea)

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

Hi I bought the above plant today and planted it to grow along our fence.

Was just looking up how to care for it and have read a lot of posts suggesting that it will become very invasive and take over the garden.

Is it the same as Japanese Honeysuckle?

Should I rip it out?!?!? Should I transfer it to a pot?

Thank you!


PS: we are located in Perth, Western Australia.
