Lonicera xylosteoides
European fly x tatarian honeysuckle

Culture: This is a very adaptable and useful honeysuckle. It is easy to transplant, pH adaptable and should be grown in full sun to partial shade.

This hybrid is resistant to injury from the Russian aphid and is otherwise quite trouble-free.

Usage: In the trade, this hybrid is represented exclusively by cultivars selected for their uniform but differing habits and size. The cultivars make excellent hedges, sheared or unsheared, and can be used in shrub borders.
