DWARF BUSH HONEYSUCKLE

Diervilla lonicera is commonly referred to as Northern Bush Honeysuckle. It is a very hardy, mounding, deciduous shrub that is perfect for mass plantings, banks and slopes as it suckers freely, forming colonies. It features yellow flowers that appear in late spring or early summer - sometimes all growing season. Flowers give rise to dry woody capsules in fall. Glossy green leaves with fine marginal teeth turn attractive shades of yellow and orange in fall.

Bush Honeysuckle enjoys full to part sun in average, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It can be drought tolerant once established. Best grown in cooler summer climates.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in average to well-draining soil, noting that these shrubs are remarkably adaptable to a variety of conditions, ranging from full sun to partial shade. While they demonstrate excellent drought tolerance once established, provide consistent moisture during the first growing season to encourage a deep, robust root system. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead wood or to manage size, as these plants respond well to rejuvenation pruning to maintain a dense, attractive habit. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to suppress weeds and stabilize soil moisture, keeping the material away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
