Description:
Lonicera caerulea 'Berry Blue' is a cold-hardy shrub known for its sweet yet tangy berries, reminiscent of wild blueberries and currants. This plant, native to Siberia, features small cream-colored flowers in spring and requires a pollinator to produce fruit. It thrives in full sun and well-drained, moist soil, growing up to 6-8 feet tall and wide. The berries ripen in early summer, about two weeks before strawberries, and are rich in antioxidants and vitamins. It attracts pollinators like butterflies and bees, making it a beneficial addition to gardens in USDA zones 3-8. Regular pruning after fruiting helps maintain its shape and productivity.
