Black Twinberry (Lonicera involucrata)
Black Twinberry’s stunning green leaves and beautiful tubular, yellow flowers could be a wonderful fit for your garden. This deciduous fast-growing, shrub thrives in moist, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade.
The name Twinberry comes from the dark, shiny berries that grow in pairs, nestled in what looks like a little red nest. These berries are eaten by small mammals, and birds, and the bright yellow flowers provide an importance source of nectar for hummingbirds, butterflies, and moths.
