Sunny to semi-shady location, possibly also light shade, tolerates urban climates well. For heavy, nutrient-rich garden soil. The root base must be protected against temperature fluctuations and drying out, e.g. with a shade stone. Locations with high humidity (e.g. on coasts and inland waterways), high groundwater levels (river floodplains) and protection from the wind favour growth. A lack of water on warm walls leads to an ugly aphid infestation on golden honeysuckle. Planting distance: 2.5 - 4 m.

Climbing plant, vigorous growth to a height of 12 metres! Strong stem formation, early shoots, foliage from April to October. Flower clusters yellow to orange, often followed later by coral-red, inedible berries (bird food in autumn). The rich whorls of flowers are always on stems in the disc-shaped, intergrown upper pairs of leaves. Unfortunately no fragrance. Pruning back into the old wood to a height of approx. 0.5 m before budding is sometimes necessary, at least on individual shoots, in order to prevent balding. Summer pruning into green shoots is unproblematic and stimulates branching.
