Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Native to Eastern Siberia, this unusual member of the Honeysuckle family bears fine, edible fruit about the size and flavor of blueberries in late summer on vigorous, shrubby plants. Slightly fragrant white small flowers appear in March. Honeyberry is shade loving except in the extreme northern regions where it can take full sun. Berries appear in 1-2 years and two plants are required. Very easy to grow.
