Can the Himalayan Honeysuckle be grown in a pot instead of the garden

Yes, but you will need a very big pot, and use a loam based compost such as John Innes no 2
You can grow from seed
I have 5 on my allotment and they are now forming a good wind break
They have grown to 4 foot in 3 seasons
What is Himalayan Honeysuckle, please? Am growing per sunflowers from seed looking good, about 6 inches high.
It's Leycesteria, weve got a few around but not in pots.
I would use a pot about 30 cm or more across.
Can you transplant them? I've got a self-seeded one at front of a border and would like to move it to back. It grows very large. Can't see it working in a pot unless restricted root space limits growth.
I'd give it a go in a pot. It's a lovely plant and worth a try. I prune mine and it doesn't do it any harm. I'm afraid to move mine back in case I lose it
