Grow it in full sun to partial shade in average, well-drained garden soil. Its native range or documented parentage is Eastern North America; cultivated selections are chiefly derived from North American bush-honeysuckle species. Its flowers can provide seasonal forage for bees and other beneficial insects. In the landscape, it works well in specimen plantings, mixed borders, and foundation plantings. Good siting and appropriate moisture help maintain its best form through the season.
