Family Caprifoliaceae

Lonicera caerulea 'Boreal Beauty', known as 'Boreal Beauty' honeyberry, is a deciduous fruit shrub renowned for producing some of the largest honeyberries and for their remarkable flavor. This vigorous variety forms a dense, rounded bush that integrates perfectly into fruit gardens and edible landscapes. In spring, small creamy-white flowers appear very early in the season and are followed by elongated, dark blue berries covered with a slight bloom. The fruits are particularly large, fleshy, and very flavorful, offering a rich, sweet taste with a slightly tart note reminiscent of blueberries. They are excellent eaten fresh, in jams, juices, or desserts. Very hardy and reliable, this honeyberry thrives in full sun in well-drained soil and produces abundantly when accompanied by another cultivar for pollination.
