Shrubby Honeysuckle
(Lonicera nitida)

Lonicera Nitida̴Ì?is a bushy, dense and fast-growing evergreen hedge which seems to be very popular amongst gardeners looking for an easy-to-grow, average sized hedge.

Having such packed, tiny leaves on long stems, makes the Shrubby Honeysuckle a very full and dense species of hedging. The Lonicera nitida, if you are lucky, can boast tiny, scented creamy-white flowers that will develop into purple-blue berries in the autumn (this will more likely happen when you have had a good summer). Though a lot of people may not recognise the name, the Shrubby Honeysuckle is a very popular hedge, and the similar appearance to the Box hedge can easily make the Honeysuckle a great alternative if you are suffering from Box Blight.

The Lonicera nitida loves a sunny or partially shaded site and can even tolerate deeper shade. It will not grow well if put in overly wet soils, exposed seaside, or very windy sites, but it will tolerate most soils elsewise.

That all being said, being such an simple hedge to maintain, the Shrubby Honeysuckle is the ideal plant for any inexperienced gardener looking for something easy to grow.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot Grown
    Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging
    Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
