Lonicera caerulea 'Blue Pacific'

Blue Pacific Honeyberry

Honeyberry ‘Blue Pacific’ (Lonicera caerulea 'Blue Pacific') is a vigorous deciduous fruiting shrub valued for its early-producing elongated blue berries and dependable pollination ability for many other honeyberry cultivars. Small creamy-white spring flowers appear very early, followed by sweet-tart fruits with a mild blueberry-like flavor. Its dense branching and broad habit make it both productive and useful as a pollinator companion in edible plantings.
