Wild Honeysuckle

I found some wild honeysuckle starting to bloom. Honeysuckle is native to Europe, eastern Asia, and Japan, and were introduced in the 1800's as ornamentals. Birds feed on honeysuckle berries, spreading the seeds. Honeysuckles quickly naturalized and spread to become very invasive.



There are two varieties of wild honeysuckle on our property. Tartarian honeysuckle produces pink flowers, while Morrow's honeysuckle has yellowish white flowers.
