California honeysuckle
Lonicera involucrata
California honeysuckle thrives in partial shade with consistently moist, well-draining soil and benefits from a layer of mulch to retain moisture. It is a hardy native shrub that requires little intervention once established, making it ideal for naturalistic or wildlife gardens. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth.
