About
Edible honeysuckle: the honeyberry that combines beauty and a generous harvest
Edible honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea), also known as honeyberry or haskap, is a remarkably versatile deciduous fruit shrub: it fits equally well in a garden bed, along the edge of a vegetable patch, or on a large sunny terrace, while offering a harvest of vitamin-rich blue berries.
Flowering and fruiting: small cream-yellow tubular flowers from late winter onwards, followed by dark blue-purple berries, rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, with a subtly sweet-tart taste, ideal fresh, in jam, or in a smoothie.
Foliage: deciduous, dark green slightly glossy oval leaves, forming dense and decorative foliage from spring to autumn.
Exposure: full sun or partial shade, sunny exposure promoting abundant fruiting.
Hardiness: excellent, the shrub withstands harsh winters and requires no protection in the vast majority of French regions.
Use: versatile fruit shrub in a bed, low hedge, decorative vegetable patch, or in a large container on a terrace; its early flowers are a valuable resource for pollinators early in the season.
Packaging: set of 2 plants, 15 cm pot, height 50 cm.
Coming directly from our partner growers, this set of 2 Edible Honeysuckles is ready to plant: install them upon receipt and enjoy your first blue berries as early as the following season.

Everything You Need to Know About Kamtchatka honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea) - fruiting shrub (honeyberry) - 15 cm pot - Height 50 cm - Pack of 2
Does edible honeysuckle produce berries every year?
Yes, the edible honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea) is a perennial fruiting shrub that produces fruit every year once well established, generally from the second or third year after planting. Flowering occurs very early in spring, sometimes as early as late February or March depending on the climate, and the berries ripen in early summer, generally between late May and July. Productivity increases with the age of the shrub: mature plants can produce several hundred grams to several kilograms of berries per season.
Do you need to plant several edible honeysuckles to get fruit?
Cross-pollination is highly recommended for edible honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea), as an isolated plant may produce very few or no berries depending on the selection. Having two distinct plants close to each other allows pollinating insects, bees foremost, to carry pollen from one shrub to the other, triggering an abundant and regular fruit set. The set of 2 plants offered here is precisely designed to meet this need: the two shrubs cross-pollinate each other, ensuring a harvest as early as the following season.
Is edible honeysuckle really hardy in France?
Yes, the edible honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea) is one of the hardiest fruit-bearing shrubs, native to the boreal regions of Asia and North America where winters are extremely severe. It withstands very low temperatures without any special protection, making it perfectly suited to the vast majority of regions in France, including mountainous areas or continental plains with cold winters.
When to harvest honeysuckle berries?
The berries of the edible honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea) are among the first fruits of the year: they generally ripen from late May to early July depending on the climate and exposure. The berry is ready to be harvested when it takes on a dark blue-purple, almost black color over its entire surface, and detaches easily by hand or with a light shaking of the branch. It is advisable to taste a few fruits before harvesting in bulk: a slight residual bitterness indicates that the berry is not yet fully ripe.
What is the mature size of the edible honeysuckle?
When mature, the edible honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea) generally reaches a height and spread of between 1 and 2 metres, with what is considered moderate growth. It forms a compact, well-branched shrub whose rounded, dense shape makes it highly decorative in all seasons, even in winter when its deciduous foliage has fallen. Its moderate growth makes it easy to incorporate into spaces of various sizes: a garden bed, a vegetable patch border, or even a large patio container of at least 40 to 50 litres.
How to use edible honeysuckle berries in cooking?
The berries of the edible honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea) offer a flavor profile similar to blueberries, with tart and slightly sweet notes that make them extremely versatile in cooking. Fresh, they can be enjoyed plain or in a fruit salad; they are ideal in morning yogurts, smoothies, and granolas. When processed, they make jams, jellies, and compotes with a beautiful deep purple color, rich in natural pectin.
Can edible honeysuckle grow in a pot on a balcony or terrace?
Yes, the edible honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea) adapts well to container growing, provided you choose a pot of at least 40 to 50 liters per plant to allow it to develop a sufficient root system. A quality slightly acidic potting mix specially designed for fruit trees or shrubs, combined with good drainage at the bottom of the pot, is the foundation of successful cultivation on a balcony or terrace. Place the container in a sunny location or one that is lightly shaded at midday; watering must be more regular than when planted in the ground, especially during hot periods.
The essentials about Kamtchatka honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea) - fruiting shrub (honeyberry) - 15 cm pot - Height 50 cm - Pack of 2
Honeyberry (Lonicera caerulea): characteristics and benefits
The honeyberry (Lonicera caerulea), also known as honeyberry or haskap, is a deciduous fruit bush native to the boreal regions of Eastern Asia and North America. Little known in France despite its many qualities, it is now worth discovering in gardens and on patios: it produces among the first edible fruits of the year, well before strawberries and redcurrants, with dark blue-purple berries with a subtly sweet-tart taste, similar to blueberries. Its high content of antioxidants and vitamin C also gives it undeniable nutritional appeal.
Where to plant the honeyberry? Exposure and hardiness
The honeyberry thrives in full sun for optimal fruiting, but tolerates partial shade perfectly, especially during the hot summers of Southern France. It is suitable for almost all regions of France thanks to its remarkable hardiness: the bush withstands the coldest winters in the country without protection, and its very early flowering can withstand late spring frosts. Discover other complementary ornamental and fruit bushes in our selection of trees and shrubs for the garden.
How to care for the honeyberry?
Soil: moist, well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral; enrich with compost or ericaceous soil at planting.
Watering: regular during the first season to promote root establishment, then moderate; more frequent in pots during the summer heat.
Pruning: light after harvesting in summer; remove only dead or very old branches, without shortening the young fruiting shoots.
Exposure: full sun for a maximum harvest, partial shade tolerated, dense shade to be avoided as it reduces berry production.
Honeyberry in the garden: flowering, foliage and associations
Throughout the seasons, the honeyberry proves to be a bush with a full decorative and productive calendar. From the end of winter, its small cream-yellow tubular flowers brighten up the still-sleeping garden and feed the pollinators emerging from their torpor. In spring, the dark green foliage unfolds vigorously, quickly followed by clusters of berries that gradually turn an intense blue-purple, ready to harvest from late May to July. In autumn, the falling foliage reveals a beautiful, airy branch structure.
