Honeysuckle Bushes

Easy-Care Honeysuckle Bush for Sale at Nature Hills Nursery!

Nature Hills Nursery is in love with rugged, hard-working native shrubs, which is why we swoon for the Honeysuckle Bush! Officially known as Diervilla lonicera, Honeysuckle is catching the eye of professional landscapers across the country. You'll find a wide range of Honeysuckle shrubs for sale right here at our online nursery!

Please note that the flowering Honeysuckle shrubs for sale on our website are not the invasive Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). Rather, our showy Honeysuckle Bushes (Diervilla) are hard-working plants originally native to North America!

Diervilla has also seen a surge of interest from expert plant breeders, who have hybridized natural crosses. We're excited to offer these excellent, field-tested selections from the Proven Winners® and First Editions® teams!

Selection Guide to Hot Native Honeysuckle Bushes

Imagine small, mounded thickets of colorful foliage and sweetly scented flowering blooms - rather than hardscrabble bare dirt!

Available in a wealth of foliage and flower colors, our showy Honeysuckle Bushes grow naturally across a wide swathe of North America!

• The bold navitar, the Kodiak® Black Bush Honeysuckle, features bright yellow blooms against burgundy-purple foliage for much of the growing season. You'll support pollinators, but deer tend to leave it alone.
• Variegated native cultivar First Editions® Cool Splash® Dwarf Honeysuckle Bush looks great all season. Enjoy a lush fill of lovely cream and dark green leaves, sweet-smelling yellow blooms in summertime, and pink fall color.
• Landscape Shrub of the Year winner Kodiak® Orange Bush Honeysuckle features brilliant orange-yellow foliage, yellow flowers and fiery fall color. This pretty, tough native shrub grows in dreaded dry shade conditions, too.

Are you seeing the trend? Honeysuckle bushes take difficult conditions in stride, filling your landscape with an easy, charming groundcover or low hedge.

Best Practices with the Suckering Honeysuckle Plant

Invasive? No, these are simply spreading, suckering Diervilla Bush Honeysuckles. Their nature is to colonize - but politely. That's a bad thing in a tiny garden bed, but a welcome trait in a long, boring border with plenty of bare ground to fill!

Just like Sumac shrubs, you want to give Diervilla room to do their thing. We list Plant Highlights on every product page on our website; please study their mature spread to get the best results.

Honeysuckle - Landscape Problem Solvers!

Bush Honeysuckles are tough, heat tolerant, and virtually indestructible. This kind of effortless modern styling brings designer-style landscaping with minimum care. Grow an abundance of Diervilla Honeysuckle plants in little time with minimal effort! They require little care, and most thrive in full sun or partial shade!

• Why worry about weeds? Stop mowing that steep slope.
• Get help with erosion control by installing a mass planting of Honeysuckle Bushes for spring bloom, texture, and fall color instead. That will happily spread to cover the ground for you!
• Let them fill in the front of your mixed shrub borders. Diervilla is a celebrated filler plant that adds soft texture and intense color to your yard.
• Commercial property owners appreciate a plant to grow and enliven public spaces. Once established, this Honeysuckle bush needs very little care to thrive.
• Large outdoor containers can also be planted with cold-hardy Honeysuckle Bushes.
• Another fantastic use for these hardy plants is in that "Hell Strip" between the street and the front sidewalk. Diervilla tolerates snow load and light exposure to Salt.
• Think of Honeysuckle as a "living carpet" and you'll think of a zillion places to use it.
• Run Honeysuckle bushes in a low garden bed near your patio, or polish up the edges of your mixed beds.
• Order your shrub Honeysuckles for low hedges, as accent plants, as ornamental focal points, and as foundation plantings.

You'll be glad to learn they produce fruit capsules for songbirds in early fall. They also act as larval Host Plants for the Fawn Sphinx Moth.

Every little bit of habitat is helpful, isn't it? Create a marvelous, low-maintenance garden with wise use of these helpful plants.

For a natural landscape, add other native trees like Nannyberry Viburnum to enjoy white flowers in early spring. Use Upright Red Chokeberry for red or orange berries.

Planting and Care Tips for Your Honeysuckle Bush

Feel great about planting this low-maintenance smart choice!

1. Diervilla is a carefree deciduous shrub to grow in both full sun or partial shade. They do best in nearly any kind of well-drained soil.
2. Don't forget the Nature Hills Root Booster!
3. Plant them 3 feet apart in a checkerboard pattern or closer in rows. Mulch between your new Honeysuckle bushes and keep newly installed mass plantings and hedges weeded while they are establishing.
4. Water them consistently during the first season. Even after their root systems become established in your soil, we do recommend supplemental water in times of drought.
5. Prune in early spring or renewal prune every 3-5 years. Mow around your shrubs to remove any suckers that are growing where they shouldn't.
