Remarks

Yellow honeysuckle is a much better choice, along with Loncera sempervivens, than the traditional and invasive Japanese honeysuckle usually sold. Fragrant and yellow blooming, a good climber and groundcover. Average garden soils with low and medium water-use. Can be low water-use once established.

Use in Garden

Good for a habitat garden as it attracts birds, butterflies and hummingbirds. Native and lower water-use southern gardens, Western cottage gardens. A place where a perennial vine is desired.

Maintenance

Trim back when needed.
