One of the most popular native shrubs, Dwarf Bush Honeysuckle grows well under a wide range of growing conditions! This species spreads by runners, and some gardeners may want to pull or cut them to avoid excessive spreading. As the name suggests, Dwarf Bush Honeysuckle is a small, mounded shrub that grows 1-3′ tall and less than 3′ wide. This species is well suited for mass plantings, erosion control, woodland and shade plantings, forest restorations and reestablishment after a fire or clear-cut. Established Dwarf Bush Honeysuckle can be pruned in early spring before growth begins or right after flowering!
