RE: Hop vine

do they like wet feet or occasionally wet?

Still trying to cover that back fence. My plain jane
honeysuckle (duh, too early to remember it's name,
yellow/cream flowering one) which everyone said- don't
plant it, cause it will take over....well 5 years
later it has finally covered a corner :(

Since I normally don't attempt progation on a woody
type vine (I am happy if it just lives) how do you do
that with a honeysuckle?
