Mine is resistant. I have the main plant in a pot, but it has grown thru the bottom. A couple of stray cuttings have rooted and are growing well. My plants are the plain , white honeysuckle, but I want to try some of the coral types next. I added three lavender rose of sharon seedlings in front of the honeysuckle. They are listed on "immune" lists, I'll see how they do.

I also grow hostas, orange ditch daylilies, tiger lilies, pachysandra, sweet woodruff, wild violets and wild strawberries. I want to try some zinnia and calendula this year. The seeds are starting in a pot at the moment. I wintersowed black hollyhocks and planted the seedlings. Unfortunately, the weeds aren't immune to juglone, especially that white creeping stuff. I had to cover the ground around the hostas with newspaper, then I didn't like the look so I covered the newspaper with brown paper bags.

Trumpet vine climbs the trees. If you want a vigorous, flowering vine and don't mind keeping it in check it thrives on black walnut trees and hummingbirds like it. (The trees and trumpet vine were here before I was).

I killed a lot of plants until I learned about black walnut trees and juglone. Now, I call that part of the garden the tiger garden -all hostas and orange and black plants.
