A fall-blooming, deciduous shrub that is native to woodlands, forest margins and stream banks. It typically grows 15-20’ tall with a similar spread in cultivation. Clusters of fragrant bright yellow flowers, each with four crinkly, ribbon-shaped petals, appear along the branches from October to December, usually after leaf drop but sometimes at the time of fall color. Fertilized flowers will form fruit over a long period extending through winter and into the following growing season. Fruits are greenish seed capsules that become woody with age and mature to light brown. Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Best flowering in full sun. Prefers moist, acidic, organically rich soils. Tolerates heavy clay soils.
Not a true honeysuckle, this small native, densely branched, suckering shrub is noted for its yellow trumpet-shaped flowers, dark green leaves and fall color. Flowers bloom in late spring to early summer. Full sun to part shade; dry to medium moisture in well-drained soil. Attracts hummingbirds and butterflies.
White corymbs bloom in June and July. Best grown in medium moisture, well-drained soil in part shade. Flowers make lovely dried arrangements. Will require watering during dry weather.
Small flowers mass together in 6-12″ wide flat-topped cymes in June. Purple-black fruit from August to September is relished by birds! Best grown in medium to wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers moist soils with humus. Deer resistant.
Low-growing shrub that does well in dry shade under oak trees. It is not grown for its flowers but for the pure white berries that appear in late summer and persist through most of the winter. Attracts birds. If allowed, it will sucker and spread making it good for stabilizing slopes. Best grown in medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Deer resistant.
