Caprifoliaceae
Lonicera caerulea 'Aurora', known as haskap 'Aurora', is a deciduous fruit shrub with an upright and vigorous habit, recognized for the superior quality of its fruit and its sustained productivity. Flowering early in spring with small, cold-hardy, creamy-white flowers, it produces an abundance of large, elongated, dark blue fruits in early summer. This variety stands out with a milder and more balanced flavor than many other cultivars, with less bitterness at full maturity. Its dense bluish-green foliage makes it an excellent choice for a fruiting hedge or an edible bed. Lonicera caerulea 'Aurora' prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained, slightly fertile soil. A compatible variety is necessary to ensure optimal pollination and maximize the harvest.
