Twinberry Honeysuckle flowers branch - Lonicera involucrata ledebourii

Lonicera involucrata ledebourii , Twinberry Honeysuckle is an interesting California native plant. Twin flowers appear on the same stem followed by two soft shiney black berries. The berries are edible. Attracts hummingbirds and is garden tolerant. Usually it like to lean on nearby plants and send out long branches of thick green leaves. Grows fast and likes full to partial sun. The flowers are orange-red and appear from Spring through Summer. Seems to be drought-tolerant but does best with some water nearby.

 

Available for purchase at Las Pilitas Plant nursery in Escondido, CA
