Lonicera (Honeysuckles)
Honeysuckle is a wildlife champion, offering both food and shelter through the seasons. Its tubular, nectar-rich flowers are irresistible to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, providing a vital energy source from spring to autumn. As dusk falls, the sweet fragrance attracts moths, including night-flying pollinators. The dense, twining growth creates nesting spots for small birds and shelter for insects, while the berries feed birds like thrushes and warblers in late summer. Perfect for arches, fences, or trellises, honeysuckle’s vigorous but non-invasive habit makes it a versatile choice. By growing it organically, you sustain biodiversity while enjoying its timeless charm and intoxicating scent.
