Would you be interested in any of the following that do well in the shade here: apple mint, peppermint, pachysandra, wild violas, wild strawberries If you're willing to consider things that need part sun, I have native honeysuckle cuttings (lonicera sempervirens), forsythia, creeping phlox. LMK if anything interests you. Betsy

I have a native honeysuckle not sure of the species. IT was sold to me by project native trying to restore some fo the native plants in the berkshires. IF your interested i can get you a cutting and look for its latin name.

i can or could agree with you on some of the list, if you don't take care of your plants, i do have gold flame honeysuckle. i have it on an arch. every fall i clip it back to about 6" or so, and in the spring it comes right back up and just as beautiful as ever!! when we first bought our house, it had over a foot of dead vines under the live ones, i had to cut all that back, it was a real pain in the butt!!! now it looks great though, also on that arch is my orange trumpet vine for the hummers. and that one is very thick!! but it also has to be cut back. if you don't do this it all just dies for the next years growth anyhow. so i don't know why people wouldn't want to cut it back?? and severely!!! and the honeysuckle smells awesome!!! :') ~Medo

Hi Cody, I've grown several types of the honeysuckle shrubs. I have grown the Honeyrose - Lonicera x honeyrose but I was not as happy with the coloring and fragrance of the flowers as much as I was with the Lonicera tatarica 'Arnold Red so I replaced all the the honeyrose with that one. I'm in a different growing zone than you are so they may grow a bit different for you.
