Honeysuckle, Tatarian
Lonicera tatarica
Grow in full sun to part shade. Prefers moist, well-drained soils, but will tolerate dry, alkaline soil. If growing as a hedge, space plants 3’-4’ apart. Prune after flowering each year. Cut back oldest stems to the ground and clear out any deadwood. Cut or shear back one quarter or more of entire bush to keep neat and promote denser bush if desired. Grows 12 ‘ tall and 8’ wide. Produces white or pink flowers in late spring; dark green leaves in summer; red berries in mid to late summer. Hardy to zone 3.
