Pink Tartarian Honeysuckle

Description

Lonicera tatarica ‘Rosea’

Pink Tartarian Honeysuckle (Lonicera tatarica) is a hardy, deciduous shrub native to Eurasia but widely cultivated and naturalized in North America. It grows 8 to 12 feet tall and features a rounded form with arching branches. In late spring, it produces clusters of fragrant, tubular pink flowers that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. These are followed by small, red berries in summer, which are consumed by birds but can be toxic to humans. While ornamental, it is considered invasive in some regions due to its ability to out compete native plants and spread aggressively.
