Ledebour's twinberry is a coastal California and Oregon native shrub closely related to twinberry honeysuckle, offering yellow flowers and ornamental black berries beloved by wildlife. It does best in partially shaded spots with reliably moist soil and is a great choice for rain gardens or shaded native plant landscapes. Once established, it is quite low-maintenance and will naturalize beautifully in the right conditions.
