Lonicera Tatarica

Design with this plant

Overview

Lonicera tatarica, or Tatarian Honeysuckle, is an ornamental shrub thriving in USDA zones 4-9. It reaches 8-12 ft in height and spreads 10-12 ft, flourishing in full sun to partial shade. Prized for its profusion of pink to red blossoms in late spring, followed by red berries, it attracts birds and butterflies. Requires regular pruning to maintain shape and prevent invasive spread. Caution advised as berries are toxic if ingested.
