Plant Description and Details
Lush foliage with leaves in pairs shows off yellow flower twins, followed by shiny black twin berries, each with its own raspberry-red bract "cape." No wonder it's named "Twinberry Honeysuckle": everything about it is symmetrical. It's native tostreamsides and marshy areas, and it often grows in decorative thickets. While birds eat the summer berries, they are neither poisonous nor tasty for people.
