why does'nt my honeysuckle have any flowers

United Kingdom Gb

this plant grows in a large container in open sun. It is quite healthy but does not produce any flowers.

Most likely because it's in a container rather than in the ground, unless you're cutting it back at the wrong times and chopping off the flowering shoots

Let me clarify what I said! Is the container a minimum of 18 inches to 2 feet wide by 2 feet deep? And are you feeding the plant with liquid feed monthly during the growing season (March to end July)? And if you're pruning, when are you doing it?

And if it is in a container are you watering regularly?

And if in full sun does that include the roots? It hates having its roots hot. It's a hedgerow plant so in its natural setting the roots are always in the shade of whatever shrubs form the hedge.
