Botanically called Diervilla rivularis Honeybee, this stunning shrub is more commonly known as the Honeybee Bush Honeysuckle. Perfect for growing as part of a mixed border, its attractive golden foliage really stands out against darker-leaved specimens. In summer, it produces honeysuckle-like yellow flowers that are loved by pollinators. Growing to only 3 feet high, this compact shrub is ideal for those smaller garden spaces.   

Drought tolerant once established, the Honeybee Bush Honeysuckle is easy to grow and requires little ongoing care. Suitable for growing in zones 4 through 8, this shrub is hardy and can tolerate most soil types. Due to its small mounding form, it is ideal for growing in a container or can make a big impact when planted out in a large group or row.

Honeybee Bush Honeysuckle Care

Regular watering after planting and for the first season or two is required, but once established it can cope with a fair amount of neglect. The Honeybee Bush Honeysuckleis a tolerant shrub and can adapt to most soils as long as they are well drained. Best grown in a sunny spot, Honeybee can also tolerate a fair amount of shade. Although not required, a general fertilizer can be applied in spring to give this shrub a boost. 

Requiring a prune only once a year, the Honeybee Bush Honeysuckle can simply be lightly trimmed before new growth appears in spring. Although drought tolerant once mature, container-grown plants will need frequent watering to avoid the soil completely drying out and the plant suffering. 

Honeybee Bush Honeysuckle Spacing

With its attractive, mound-like habit, the Honeybee Bush Honeysuckle can grow to around 2-3 feet tall by 3 feet wide. For maximum impact, it can be grown en masse at a spacing of 24-36 inches.

    I planted Honeybee Bush Honeysuckle in an area of my garden that is difficult for plants to grow and it thrived. I really don't know if it was the quality of the plant or the care that I put into it, but I'm grateful.
