Nov-AprilPink Tatarian Honeysuckle is a deciduous shrub known for its fragrant, rosy, reddish tubular flowers and green foliage. These features make it a highly sought-after shrub.
Pink Tatarian Honeysuckle, or Lonicera tatarica, are densely branched, deciduous shrubs that can grow up to 12 feet long. When the stems are still young, they often appear light brown and slightly hairy. However, they'll grow out of this phase and eventually produce peeling shaggy bark. Of course, you won't see their bark once these shrubs grow, as they'll be covered by greenery and gorgeous rose flowers.
Pink Tatarian Honeysuckle Has Stunning Flowers
These irregular flowers grow in pairs and come forth on almost all first-year branches. They're known for being colored like their namesake, but they'll occasionally be white or rosy. Regardless of their exact color, it is known to be a fragrant flower that will enhance your enjoyment. They have two lips and will grow up to an inch long. The bottom lip will be slightly more significant than the top, providing visual interest.
Pink Tatarian Honeysuckle Has Exotic Leaves
They have opposite leaves that will grow up to 2-1/2 inches long. They will either be oblong or more egg-shaped, primarily smooth and hairless. Their widest point is the middle section. At their base, they can resemble a heart shape; then, they'll become pointed or blunt at the tip. They do not have any teeth on the edges, which helps complete their smooth appearance.
There will be orange to red berries that appear later in the season. Each of these will also come in pairs, containing several seeds each. This fruit attracts a wide variety of birds. Because of this, the plant can widely spread its seeds without having to do a single thing!
Create A Wildlife Hotel With Pink Tatarian Honeysuckle
You already know birds are attracted to Pink Tatarian Honeysuckle, but that's just the beginning. Due to how much nectar they produce, they'll also attract the Elephant Hawkmoth, who will catch the bats' attention. When new shoots appear, they'll bring in the blackfly, leading to even more birds. Additionally, squirrels love to eat their berries. Therefore, if you've been looking for a gorgeous plant that smells wonderful and will bring in all types of wildlife, you've found it!

Plant Reproduction
Pink Tatarian Honeysuckle spreads via runners and vigorous self-seeding
Plant bare-root shrubs during the more excellent spring or fall months, from November through April. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root system and slightly more profound than its height. Position the shrub so that the top of the roots is level with the ground, and put back the soil dug over the roots. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, ensuring the mulch does not touch the shrub's stem. Water regularly, especially during the first year, to establish strong roots. Prune shrubs as needed to promote healthy growth. In the spring, fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer suited to the specific needs of the shrub.
