Lonicera plants are also ideal in shrub borders and banks, and look stunning when kept neatly trimmed and under control. Suitable for any soil type and tolerant of dry shade or chalky areas. With an upright growing habit, the honeysuckle shrub is a particularly versatile and elegant choice for screen hedging or as a privacy shrub.
