White Honeysuckle

Lonicera albiflora The white honeysuckle is a lovely deciduous shrub that grows to about 4 feet tall. Still, its elegant, long branches can reach an impressive height of up to 10 feet and are often entwined with other plants, creating a beautiful natural display. The paired leaves are broadly oval, measuring around 2 3/4 inches long and 1 3/4 inches wide, and feature smooth edges that are either rounded or tapered at the base, with a gentle tip that has a tiny point. Notably, the leaves found just below the flowers are fused together at their bases. This delightful plant produces two-lipped white flowers, reaching up to 5/8 inch in length and blooming in charming clusters of 2-3 inches at the ends of the branches. After the flowering period, you can enjoy clusters of vibrant orange-red berries, each about 3/8 inch in diameter, that appear like little jewels. The honeysuckle is beautiful and serves as a wonderful food source for deer, while its berries are a favorite treat for birds. Wi
