Thunderbolt Honeysuckle is a dense mounding evergreen shrub with branches that become cascading as they grows and small ovate leaves resembling boxwood. The vibrant foliage remains its glowing golden chartreuse in winter. The small fragrant creamy white flowers bloom in spring and are followed by sparse purple fruits in fall. Best color in part sun and well-drained soil.
