Blackberried honeysuckle
Lonicera nigra
Blackberried honeysuckle is a shade-tolerant deciduous shrub that performs best in partial shade with consistently moist, humus-rich soil. Water regularly throughout the growing season and apply a layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape; its small black berries attract birds in late summer.
