Planting advice for Honeyberry:

• Plant in any soil type that is rich in organic matter, in full sun.

• Before planting soak container-grown shrubs thoroughly and allow to drain.

• Water well and mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.
• If you’re planting into pots, place some old rocks, stones or gravel in the bottom of the pot for drainage and ballast.
