Notes
'Baggesen's Gold' honeysuckle (Lonicera ligustrina 'Baggesen's Gold') is a shrub for hedges, ground cover, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is evergreen and tolerates salt, so it works near roads and walkways. It grows 47 to 71 inches tall and wide, and it adapts to acid, alkaline, or neutral soil.
Pairs well with Caramel coral bells, Catmint, Purple Sensation ornamental onion, and Fountain grass.
