Northern Bush Honeysuckle (Diervilla lonicera) is a compact, adaptable native shrub that brings easy color and structure to tough sites. You will enjoy its small yellow summer flowers and tidy, mounded habit, plus foliage that can take on bronzy tones in brighter light.

At maturity it typically reaches about 24-36 inches tall, with a wider spread as it slowly colonies by suckers. Use it to fill in the front of mixed borders, naturalize along woodland edges, or stabilize a bank where a resilient plant is needed.

For best results, plant it in full sun to part shade, but it also tolerates shade. Give it average moisture while it establishes, then enjoy a plant that is forgiving in a range of soils. It is especially useful where tree roots compete or conditions run dry at times.

Maintenance is simple: after flowering or in early spring, you can thin older stems or lightly prune to keep the shrub dense. If you want a larger patch, allow it room to spread; if you prefer a tighter outline, remove wandering shoots as needed.
