Lonicera hispidula vacillans var. - Hairy Honeysuckle

Description

This Honeysuckle vine is found in nature as a loose groundcover in oak forests, or growing through native shrubs. Its loose growth and sparse foliage do not make it a suitable vine for a trellis, but it is quite attractive planted as it occurs in nature, near the base of a shrub it can twine through to display its pink springtime flowers and cherry red fall fruit. Also sometimes used as a deciduous groundcover, grows beautifully planted between Ribes viburnifolium.
