Honeyberry ‘Indigo Yum’ (Lonicera caerulea ‘Indigo Yum’). Lonicera caerulea ‘Indigo Yum’ lives up to its name: its fruits are fleshy, with a well-balanced sweet taste, and a sought-after aromatic intensity.

The indicated adult size is 1.5 to 2 m (5 to 7 feet) in height and 1.5 m (5 feet) in width.

To plant honeyberry ‘Indigo Yum’, choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is: slightly acidic to neutral, well-drained. Water the root ball before planting and ensure that water can drain away after planting. During establishment, check the moisture by hand before watering again. Spread mulch around the base, leaving the crown clear. Avoid systematic fertilizer applications without considering the soil's richness. In Quebec, choose a period when the soil is thawed and easy to work.

Allow a width of 1.5 m (5 feet) to organize the space for this plant in the garden. The indicated height of 1.5 to 2 m (5 to 7 feet) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Keep access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
