watering
Bush honeysuckle should be watered weekly, allowing the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry out before watering again. Water thoroughly until you see the soil being saturated and water escaping the drainage holes. Depending on the conditions, you may need to water more or less to keep the soil consistently moist. During the summer and hot weather, you may need to water more often. Add organic mulch to maintain the moisture level and help reduce weeds.
sunlight
Bush honeysuckle (Diervilla splendens 'El Madrigal' NIGHTGLOW) should receive full to partial sun, depending on its location and the season. In spring, when the temperatures are mild and the days are long, a full sun exposure is ideal. As summer arrives, the plant should receive some afternoon shade in order to protect it from the intense heat. In the autumn months, the plant can be returned to a full sun location. In winter, the bush honeysuckle should be sheltered from the cold temperatures and given at least a few hours of sun each day.
pruning
Bush honeysuckle (Diervilla splendens 'El Madrigal' NIGHTGLOW) should be pruned in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This plant should be pruned back to about 12 inches every year in order to keep the shape tidy and attractive. Cut off any branches that are growing too closely together and any that are dead, damaged, or diseased. Additionally, any shoots that appear on the underside of the shrub should be pruned off to help the shrub keep its bush form.
