How to grow Lonicera ‘Lemon Beauty’ in NZ

Plant in a sunny to partly shaded position with well-drained soil for the best colour and growth. Lonicera ‘Lemon Beauty’ tolerates a variety of soil types but benefits from added organic matter. Water regularly during its first growing season to establish deep roots, then reduce watering once established. It responds well to clipping, making it ideal for formal shapes or structured plantings. Plant in spring or autumn to give it the best start.

Lonicera ‘Lemon Beauty’ care tips

Feed in spring with a balanced fertiliser to promote healthy foliage and strong growth. Trim lightly several times a year to maintain shape and encourage denser growth. Mulch annually to conserve soil moisture and suppress weeds. Lonicera ‘Lemon Beauty’ is hardy and low-maintenance but benefits from regular watering during extended dry spells to keep its foliage vibrant.

Lonicera ‘Lemon Beauty’ size, spacing, and growth rate

This variety grows to around 1–1.2 m tall and wide, with a moderate growth rate. Space plants approximately 60–80 cm apart for hedging or structured borders. Its naturally compact, bushy habit makes it easy to maintain and ideal for smaller gardens, topiary, or mixed plantings.

Landscaping uses for Lonicera ‘Lemon Beauty’

Lonicera ‘Lemon Beauty’ is perfect for creating low hedges, edging garden paths, or adding contrast in mixed borders.
