Blue Velvet Honeysuckle
Blue velvet honeysuckle is a large shrub with small, fuzzy, round, blue-gray leaves. It has long arching branches that give the plant a billowy mound shape.
Showy, light pink flowers bloom in late spring and are followed by red berries later in the season.
This is a wonderful, large shrub that is quite striking when in bloom. Be sure to plant it in an area where it will have enough space to reach its full size.
