Japanese Honeysuckle

Overview

Lonicera japonica, Japanese Honeysuckle, is an evergreen to semi-evergreen vine reaching lengths up to 30 feet. It features fragrant white to yellow flowers, blooming from spring to summer (April-July), maturing to black berries. This fast-growing plant thrives in USDA zones 4-10, preferring full sun to partial shade. Use with caution; while visually appealing and excellent for cover, it can become invasive, overwhelming structures and outcompeting native flora.
