Proven Winners Scentsation Honeysuckle

While it arrives in a one-gallon container, it is best suited for planting in the ground where it can reach its full potential. If you do choose to use a container, ensure it is large enough to support a plant that grows 8 to 10 feet tall and provide a sturdy trellis for support.

It is classified as deer-resistant, meaning deer typically avoid it because they dislike the taste and texture. While no plant is 100% deer-proof, especially if food sources are scarce, this variety is a reliable choice for gardens in areas with high deer pressure.

The plant's habit is determined by how you manage it. To grow it as a vine, provide a trellis, fence, or arbor and gently tie the stems to the structure as they grow. To keep it as a shrub, simply prune it back regularly to encourage a denser, bushier shape.

You can expect consistent color from spring through fall. It is a continuous bloomer, so it will keep producing its fragrant yellow flowers as long as it receives the required full sun exposure.

This honeysuckle requires full sun, which means at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day. Planting it in a spot with less light will result in fewer blooms and a weaker, leggier plant.
