Sunlight
Firefly Nightglow Bush Honeysuckle requires full to partial sunlight, meaning it needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day but can tolerate some shade as well.
Watering
The Firefly Nightglow Bush Honeysuckle has low to moderate watering requirements. It prefers average moisture levels and well-drained soil. It is important to avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot.
Fertilizing
Firefly Nightglow Bush Honeysuckle requires a balanced fertilizer with equal amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK). Additionally, it prefers a slightly acidic soil with a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5 for optimal growth.
Firefly Nightglow Bush Honeysuckle, also known as Diervilla splendens ‘El Madrigal’, is a compact, hybrid selection of bush honeysuckle. The smaller shrub showcases dark purple-red foliage and bright yellow flowers. The dark reddish-purple foliage is Firefly Nightglow Bush Honeysuckle's most striking feature, but the yellow blooms only add to the effect rather than pale in comparison.
The yellow flowers blooming in early summer attract butterflies, native bees, and hummingbirds. In autumn, the foliage color intensifies with a red-orange turn.
It is an upright-growing shrub that needs only light pruning. It only grows 2-3 feet in height and width, making it incredibly versatile and space-saving. It is deer resistant, disease resistant, and can even grow in dry shade and grows well in USDA zones 3-7.
Firefly™ Nightglow™ Bush Honeysuckle grows well in full sun to partial sun. The full sun creates a more dramatic foliage color. But even with just six hours of direct sunlight, the bright yellow flowers and the brilliant color of the foliage will be striking.
The low-maintenance plant is very adaptable to a variety of soil types as long as it's well-drained soil. And it'll only need regular watering during its first growing season. That's all you'll need to provide to get all the beauty and versatility of this plant. Order yours from Shrubhub to receive a healthy plant in its best state.
