text:  What we do with our honeysuckles, and I love honeysuckles because of the way they attract the hummingbirds, is after they have had the first bloom, and those blooms turn black and they start to get a little bit aphid-y and so forth, I just give it a light haircut down to the foliage. Then it sends up new growth and new blooms. And usually the new blooms don't get as black.
