Tartarian Honeysuckle

Lonicera tatarica

In the United States: Invasive · also called Tatarian honeysuckle, bush honeysuckle

Listed as invasive. Check local regulations — several jurisdictions restrict planting.

This deciduous multi-stemmed shrub produces pairs of tubular pink to white flowers in late spring that attract honeybees for both nectar and pollen due to their relatively short corollas. Bloom typically lasts about three weeks and serves as an early-season forage resource. The plant prefers full sun to partial shade in well-drained soils and responds well to pruning after flowering to maintain form.
