Honeybee Bush Honeysuckle is a compact native deciduous shrub that forms a mound of upright stems branches. Its broadly lanced chartreuse leaves emerge bright golden yellow and matures to gold-chartreuse where the sun touches before turning an attractive coppery-bronze in fall. The small tubular gold flower clusters blend with the foliage but bring bees in droves when in bloom from early to mid summer. Best color in full sun and well-drained soil. Tolerates deer and drought.
