Hi, I posted a question yesterday, but I gues it was in the wrong place. I planted 2 dropmore scarlet honeysuckles last spring. They were about 12-15" tall and grew to about 6'. I was so pleased with them as they attracted a lot of hummingbirds. My question is, should they be pruned? and if so, when and how? Also, when should growth be starting this spring. I check everyday and there is no sign of anything yet. Maybe they winter killed, or perhaps I am being over anxious

Check the table for blooming time & other details.
On pruning:
quote: When overgrown, this vine maybe renewed by cutting it back 1' - 1-1/2' above the ground level just above a few strong buds. This rigorous pruning should only be done when the vine is dormant, late fall to early spsring.
