Notes
Morrow honeysuckle (Lonicera morrowii) is a shrub for hedges and naturalized areas. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Creamy white, fragrant flowers open in late spring to early summer. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It tolerates drought and grows 60 to 96 inches tall, so give it room to spread.
Pairs well with Anglojap yew, Sedge, and Ostrich fern.
