Asked June 13, 2019, 5:10 PM EDT

Wondering if you think this is a southern bush honeysuckle plant. It doesn’t seem to be growing very well in this shady spot. Would it be OK to move it now?

Expert Response

Yes, it appears to be southern bush honeysuckle, probably cool splash variety. The following website gives further information. It would be okay to move it, although it usually will flourish in a variety of soils and moisture levels. Just be sure to prepare the site ahead of time and move as much root structure as you can. Water well to minimize transplant shock. See: https://extension.umn.edu/trees-and-shrubs/bush-honeysuckle
