NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON - MIGHT RETURN
Twining Honeysuckle is a vine native to the forests of Canada and the United States.
It can often be found winding up the bark of large trees or spreading out as a ground cover where no supports are present. You will love the attractive, yellow-orange flowers with pink centers which turn into red, inedible berries.
Consider Twining Honeysuckle when trying to achieve a natural, spreading, unkempt look for your garden.
Northern Bayberry makes an excellent hedge or feature shrub. It will retain its leaves in warmer climates but drops them in colder areas. They produce blue-grey berries that have a wax coating on them that can be used to make candles or soaps.
In colder hardiness zones the leaves turn an attractive orange to red colour in the fall, making it a striking addition to your landscape.
Northern Bayberry is native to Nova Scotia and tolerates both drought and wet conditions. It is also a nitrogen fixer that tolerates poor soil conditions.
