Family Caprifoliaceae

Lonicera × xylosteum 'Clavey's Dwarf', known as Clavey's Dwarf honeysuckle, is a compact deciduous shrub prized for its dense habit and ease of maintenance. This variety forms a very tight, small, rounded bush that is perfect for borders, low hedges, and structured flowerbeds. Its foliage, composed of small to medium green leaves, creates a fine and regular texture reminiscent of boxwood, making it an excellent, low-maintenance alternative for low hedges. In spring, discrete small creamy-white flowers appear on the branches, attracting pollinators. These are sometimes followed by small decorative red berries that are appreciated by birds. Very hardy and adaptable, this shrub tolerates ordinary soils, regular pruning, and urban conditions well.
