Tatarian honeysuckle

Tatarian honeysuckle, also known as Tartarian honeysuckle, is a widely cultivated bush honeysuckle species (Lonicera tatarica) native to southeastern Europe and Siberia. It is characterized by its heart-shaped to oval leaves and white to pink flowers. This plant belongs to the honeysuckle family, Caprifoliaceae.12

While attractive, Tatarian honeysuckle and other cultivated honeysuckle species can be invasive in many parts of the United States. They are often confused with bush honeysuckles of the genus Diervilla, which are native to eastern North America and are used in native landscaping. Honeysuckles, in general, are shrubs or climbers with fragrant flowers and berries that attract wildlife.32
