Shrubby Honeysuckle hedge (Lonicera nitida) description

Lonicera nitida hedging provides year-round interest with delicate, fragrant, creamy flowers appearing in spring, followed by bluish-purple berries in the autumn. The dark foliage is densely packed on the supple branches of Lonicera hedging, providing an attractive hedging screen.

Best uses for Lonicera nitida hedge plants

This evergreen hedging is ideal for both shaded and sunny spots. Shrubby Honeysuckle hedges are useful for its dense, lasting foliage and fast growth rate and makes a great privacy screen and noise muffler. Lonicera nitida hedge plants are suited to most soil types, except very wet or exposed sites. Lonicera hedging can be trimmed into a neat shape and suits a formal setting; however, it can also be left a little bushy for a more relaxed garden style.

Consider growing Lonicera nitida hedging with Golden Honeysuckle for an alternative colour combination, or grow alone for a classic Shrubby Honeysuckle hedge.

Growth rate of Shrubby Honeysuckle hedge

Lonicera hedging has a fast growth rate and will achieve about 40-60cm a year. A Shrubby Honeysuckle hedge looks at its best when maintained at a height of between 1m and 3m.
