Notes
'Twiggy' honeysuckle (Lonicera ligustrina 'Twiggy') is a shrub for hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. It stays 24 to 36 inches tall and wide, and white flowers open in late spring and early summer. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Once settled, it tolerates dry spells.
Pairs well with Wax myrtle, Purple top, and Frogfruit.
