I have a honeysuckle that doesn't flower any reasons why not?

Question

It is grown in a large tub against a wall with trellis on my patio. I feed it regular and protect base from frost during winter. Plenty of foliage but alas no flowers.

Answer 1

Bet your feeding it a fertilizer too high in nitrogen such as "all purpose miracle grow"..they do not need nitrogen but a phospherous and potassium fix....Use some miracle grow bloom booster(which i will show a picture here) which is high in the 2 p's above...also overwatering honeysuckle will prevent it from blooming..they need to have the soil dry COMPLETELY out inbetween waterings to bloom properly...I would only water them once a week at most..a 7 day week..and don't give them no high nitrogen fertilizer..here is a picture of the bloom booster..and a link to my garden pictures...I garden 12 months out of the year...

Answer 2

I have natural honey suckles in my back yard along the fence, maybe the soil isn't rich enough? idk, but the flowers would've already bloomed in May and early June
