Utah honeysuckle
Lonicera utahensis
Utah honeysuckle thrives in partially shaded spots with consistently moist, well-drained soil and benefits from a layer of mulch to retain moisture. It grows vigorously and should be pruned lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape. This native shrub is an excellent wildlife plant, providing nectar for hummingbirds and berries for birds.
