Description
I will be the first to admit that this is not a particularly handsome Lonicera when in flower, however, the twin red fruits that start to ripen in mid – June are making it worthy of growing, if someone has a garden spot to spare.
Another bonus is that it flowers early in the spring and, of course, it is loved by pollinators! Later, a variety of birds are binging on its fruits.
In the US it’s listed as endangered or as ‘special concern’ species in quite a few states. It seems that in Canada has a ‘secure’ status and we don’t have to worry about it (at least for now).
Germination: sown in the fall/winter (cold-moist stratification).
