Summary

This compact honeysuckle grew without support to just 3’ 10” (118 cm) wide and 2’ (60 cm) high in two years in our field. It flowered most heavily in late May/early June, and then lightly and intermittently to October, with the highest flowering rating on the 60% of ETo treatment and in May. Attractive red berries were displayed along with open flowers and buds beginning in July. The foliage was disease resistant, but leaf appearance was compromised by late spring thrips damage it did not outgrow. This damage was not apparent at a distance, but quite disfiguring up close. There were no significant differences in overall appearance ratings or growth measurements between treatments.
