Instead, choose a native species such as trumpet ( L. sempervirens) or yellow honeysuckle ( L. flava).
Plant Notes:The non-native species are invasive, so avoid: Amur ( L. maackii), Tatarian ( L. tatarica), Morrow’s ( L. morrowii), and Japanese honeysuckle ( L. japonica). All four can be identified by their hollow stems. Non-native honeysuckle can have negative impacts on birds, from being less nutritious than native varieties, to causing higher mortality rates in nests, likely due to less shelter from leaves, increasing predation. Instead, choose a native species such as trumpet ( L. sempervirens) or yellow honeysuckle ( L. flava).
