Lonicera morrowii
Morrow honeysuckle

Culture: Like other honeysuckles, this is a very adaptable and tough plant. It should be grown in full sun to partial shade. It tolerates exposed dry and windy sites and is easy to transplant. Flint reports some escape problems with the species.

This is a relatively trouble-free species.

Usage: The Morrow honeysuckle can be used in masses in the shrub border or as an informal unsheared hedge. It is not readily available in the trade. Because of its potential for escape, its usage should be carefully considered.
