Honeysuckle is a semi-evergreen climbing shrub. Its flowers are white when they first open and turn yellow after being exposed to the sun. Therefore, it is named Shuanghua in traditional Chinese medicine, which can clear heat and detoxify. Its rattan is named Jinyinteng in traditional Chinese medicine, which not only has the effect of Shuanghua, but also relieves the heat of meridians and stops the pain of meridians. Its flowers are fragrant and sweet, which is a good material for fumigating scented tea. Tea with its leaves and flowers can remove summer heat and improve eyesight. In the south, medicinal plants are planted in large areas, or vertical greening and fragrant environment are widely cultivated in courtyards. In the past, it could only be planted in boxes and made into bonsai in the north, and it needed to live through the winter indoors or in cellars. According to the author's trial planting, it can also be cultivated in the open field in cold areas.

The key points of management are as follows:   First, planting honeysuckle is both sun-loving and shade-tolerant, and does not choose soil. Accord to that plant distance of 60cm and the hole depth of 40-50cm, the farm manure and the hole soil are evenly mixed, the root system is stretch and planted, and the root system is watered thoroughly.   And 2, when that plant height is 30 centimeter, a pole is erected at a position 10 centimeter away from the root to be bound, and then the vine is guided upward and fixed along with the spreading depth of the branch. In order to prevent the branches from falling and tangling, which will affect the growth. It can grow to 3-4 meters in the same year, so the pole should be high and fixed firmly.The iron wire or thin wooden pole is horizontally pulled on the pole so as to evenly fix the vine and facilitate ventilation and lighting.   And 3, pinching when the new shoots are 30 centimeters high to promote the lateral branches, pinching when the lateral branches are 50 centimeters high to promote the lateral branches for three times, and after the last ten days of June, no pruning is carried out except for starting the spindly branches and thinning the diseased and weak branches so as to ensure the yield of flowers. In the future, we should retract the branches every year to prevent the lower part from being bald, pay attention to controlling the excessive growth of long branches, and cut off the over-dense, over-old and weak branches.And fourthly, fertilize, wherein that honeysuckle grows rapidly, the amount of branch and leaves is large, the flowers bloom from the middle ten days of June to the upper freeze, and the honeysuckle consumes a large amount of nutrition, so that compost and barnyard manure are applied to the rhizosphere in autumn and early spring, and thin liquid fertilizer is frequently applied after germination and when flowers are picked.   And fifthly, that harvest period of the honeysuckle is long, the inflorescences are many and long, and the maximum length is 15 centimeter, but the honeysuckle cannot be picked in full order, and the upper part of the flower bud which is swollen and white and is to be open is selected before nine o'clock on a sunny day to be gently taken down. Put it on the mat or in the basket, spread about 1 cm,Eight or nine floors. Do not turn it over before drying, and do not touch it with your hands, otherwise it will turn black. If it is not dried in the sun on the same day or in case of rain, it should be moved indoors, but it can not be stored in piles. It will be dried on sunny days or the next day.   And 6, selecte 1-2 years old strong branch for propagation in spring, wherein that two nodes form a section, the lower part is obliquely cut at the position of 1 centimeter below the node, the upper part is flatly cut at the position of 1.5 centimeter above the node, and the cut is smooth. Use a wooden stick to prick the hole on the prepared bed soil and then insert it, water it thoroughly and buckle the shed. In summer, semi-lignified annual strong branches can also be cut as above, but they should be moderately shaded.   And 7, that overwinter cold-proof honeysuckle cannot be frozen to death, a few of the honeysuckle can be coiled up aft being taken off the shelves in late autumn, and many of the honeysuckle can be safely overwintered by lay the branches and tendrils on the ground, watering the branches and tendrils thoroughly, and covering the branches with sawdust and other coverings for 15 centimeters. The next year, "May Day" to lift the cold, buckled on the small shed, in the sun is not poisonous and windless or at night gradually uncover the film exercise, more than ten days after the natural growth of the shed.
