Honeysuckle is a popular plant within the Lonicera genus, which includes around 160 different species native to various parts of the world, including North America, Europe, and Asia. While there is a glorious diversity of honeysuckles, you are always better off planting native varieties in your garden.
Where there are good options, there must be bad ones. These are the invasive non-native species that are always best avoided, as they grow quickly and overtake local flora. While they may look attractive, they can suppress native plants and harm local biodiversity and wildlife.
