# Why Won't My Honeysuckle Flower?
Honeysuckles are flowering vines or bushes, and they are ornamental plants that produce clusters of colorful blossoms. When a honeysuckle vine is not producing flowers, it is a sign that there may be something wrong.
-
Immaturity
-
Garden Wise states that immature honeysuckle vines will not produce full clusters of flowers, though they may bloom in a limited fashion during their first year. It may take three growing seasons before a honeysuckle produces flowers as an adult.
Lack of Light
-
The honeysuckle requires full light to produce its vibrant blooms. If the honeysuckle is not flowering and has never flowered, it may be in a location that is too shady.
Overfertilization
-
The honeysuckle only needs soil with average fertility. If you have been giving it too much fertilizer, it will put its resources into making leaves rather than flowers. A honeysuckle planted next to a highly fertilized lawn will have similar problems.
