Pink Tatarian Honeysuckle

Pink Tatarian Honeysuckle is a deciduous shrub known for its fragrant, pink to reddish-pink tubular flowers and green foliage, which makes it a highly sought after shrub.

Pink Tatarian Honeysuckle, also known as Lonicera tatarica, are densely branched, deciduous shrubs that can grow up to 12 feet long. When the stems are still young, they often appear light brown and slightly hairy. They'll grow out of this phase, however, and will eventually produce peeling shaggy bark. Of course, you won't really be able to see their bark once these shrubs grow up, as they'll be covered by greenery and gorgeous rose flowers.

Pink Tatarian Honeysuckle: Flowers

These irregular flowers grow in pairs, and they'll come forth on almost all first-year branches. They're known for being colored like their namesake, but they'll occasionally be white or rosy, too. Regardless of their exact color, it is known to be a fragrant flower that will enhance your enjoyment. They have two lips and will grow up to an inch long. The bottom lip will be slightly bigger than the top, which provides some visual interest.

Pink Honeysuckle: Leaves

Honeysuckles have opposite leaves that will grow up to 2-1/2 inches long. They will either be oblong or more egg-shaped, and they are mostly smooth and hairless. Their widest point is the middle section. At their base, they can resemble a heart shape; then, they'll become pointed or blunt at the tip. They do not have any teeth on the edges, which helps complete their smooth appearance.

Tatarian Honeysuckle: Fruit

There will be orange to red berries that appear later in the season. Each of these will also come in pairs, and they contain several seeds each. This fruit attracts a wide variety of birds. Because of this, plant can widely spread their seeds without having to do a single thing!

Honeysuckles: A Wildlife Hotel

You already know that birds are attracted to this plant, but that's just the beginning. Due to how much nectar they produce, they'll also attract the Elephant Hawkmoth, who in turn will catch the attention of bats. When new shoots appear, they'll bring in the blackfly, which will lead to even more birds. Additionally, squirrels love to eat their berries. Therefore, if you've been looking for a gorgeous plant that smells wonderful and will bring in all types of wildlife, you've found it!
