Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica)

A favorite of bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, Japanese honeysuckle is a semi-evergreen vine that keeps its leaves in temperate climates late into the winter. The white or yellow tubular flowers of Lonicera japonica form in pairs at the leaf axils and the two to three-seeded fruits are small, black, and enjoyed by songbirds such as cedar waxwings.
