Lonicera, commonly known as Honeysuckle, is a highly adaptable species of deciduous or evergreen shrubs and vines. Almost as entrancing as the colorful and structurally-fascinating blooms of Honeysuckle is the sweet, citrusy aroma which accompanies them. The striking, trumpet-shaped flowers captivate pollinators, who can't get enough of their sweet nectar and berries. Blooming profusely in spring, Honeysuckle can be used as groundcover to control erosion or to liven up a fence, trellis, or arbor. Despite their showstopping appearance, they're easy to grow, heat-tolerant, and nearly indestructible. Enjoy!
