Description
- Yields sweet, elongated, blueberry-like fruits (also known as haskaps). These have a delicious blueberry flavour but with a delectable honeyed aftertaste.
- Technically a honeysuckle (Lonicera), this bushy plant can be grown in most soils, unlike blueberries (which require acidic soil).
- Producing delicately fragrant white flowers in early spring and cylindrical blue berries from June to July, this Siberian plant is worthy of any garden. It’s no wonder the honeyberry made the RHS’s 2025 garden trends list!
- Extremely rich in vitamins C, A and antioxidants, haskaps are wonderful eaten fresh or used in baking (try your hand at a honeyberry pie or cheesecake).
- Fully hardy and incredibly easy to grow. What’s not to like?
