Alternatives to Honeysuckle

March 15, 2019 by Rhonda Shoemaker

Now that your honeysuckle is ripped out, what to plant? Our gold standard horticultural institution, MBG, recommends a nice variety of native shrubs and trees:http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/gardens-gardening/your-garden/help-for-the-home-gardener/advice-tips-resources/visual-guides/native-alternatives-for-bush-honeysuckle.aspx

If you need a dense, tall screen, I like evergreens such as Viburnum pragense or cultivars of our native juniper, Juniperus virginiana, being my favorites.


  • Juniperus virginiana

  • Viburnum pragense

If you liked your invasive honeysuckle shrubs because of the bees they attracted, consider these plants that attract bees and native pollinators:


  • Symphyotrichum oblongifolium
    Aromatic aster

  • Echinacea purpurea
    Purple coneflower

  • Monarda fistulosa
    Wild bergamot

In addition to removing honeysuckle, we can source most of these plants for you, and can plant them too. Our talented designer can also create a master plan design for you. Get a free personalized quote by booking an on-site appointment. Just call 314.968.5066 or email rhonda@gloriousgardens.com
