‘Eisbar’ is a wonderful Lonicera, that is adored for its 4cm long, sweet, blue fruits! Filled with antioxidants and vitamins, be sure to incorporate into a range of different culinary dishes! Its fabulous bushy foliage is a fresh green in colour and works well in kitchen and cottage gardens. Easy to care for and happy to progress in direct sunlight, watch it flourish to a height of 1.5m, along with a spread of 1.2m. Its creamy coloured flowers will appear from March until May, adding ornamental value to outdoor spaces and encouraging pollinating insects into the garden. The supersize fruits on this Honeyberry grow up to 4cm long, making them among the giants of all Honeyberries. Despite its large fruits, Lonicera kamtschatica ‘Eisbär’ is a compact shrub, perfect for growing in the border or as a group in the kitchen garden. The berries can be eaten freshly picked straight from the bush, baked in pies or cakes or made into jam. What’s more, the Honeyberry has creamy yellow, fragrant flowers in early spring and is very easy to grow. Honeyberry plants are self fertile but planting two or more together will improve pollination and increase your crop of tasty fruits. Height: 1.5m (5′). Spread: 1.2m (4′). Caution: It should be noted that not all berries of the Lonicera family are edible. Grow honeyberry plants in any moist well drained soil in full sun. Honeyberries are self fertile but planting them in close proximity to one another will improve pollination and increase your crop of tasty fruits.
