  • FEATURES

    Kintzley’s Ghost® honeysuckle hasn’t always been a Proven Winners ColorChoice Shrub. But, we grew it, got to know it, and had to add it! This wild-looking plant is actually native to North America. Each season, it begins like any other honeysuckle, with typical dusty green leaves. As the season progresses, flower buds pop out like saucers. These rounded bracts look a lot like eucalyptus, but the flowers at the center feed native pollinators like hummingbirds! They turn into red berries in the fall, but won’t become a nuisance like other honeysuckles. Due to its size and interesting seasonal changes, it makes an incredible specimen.
