Honeyberry Plant Collection – Lonicera caerulea Live Plants | 4 Variety Set (Aurora, Berry Blue, Boreal Beauty, Boreal Beast) | 3-Year Gallon Grown | Cold Hardy Haskap Berry Bushes

Grow a productive berry patch with this Honeyberry Variety Collection featuring four popular cultivars: Aurora, Berry Blue, Boreal Beauty, and Boreal Beast. These 3-year-old gallon-grown honeyberry plants (Lonicera caerulea) are cold-hardy fruiting shrubs known for their delicious elongated blue berries and extremely early harvest season.

Also known as haskap or blue honeysuckle, honeyberries produce flavorful berries often described as a blend of blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, and hints of kiwi. They are packed with antioxidants and vitamins, making them perfect for fresh eating, jams, desserts, smoothies, and even wine.

Honeyberries are highly valued by gardeners because they are extremely cold hardy, easy to grow, and adaptable to many soil types. Unlike blueberries, they do not require highly acidic soil and can grow in soils with pH levels between 5.5–8.

This 4-plant set provides excellent cross-pollination, helping ensure strong fruit production and higher yields. These plants bloom very early in spring and often produce berries weeks before strawberries, making them one of the earliest fruit harvests in the garden.

These plants are currently semi-dormant and will be shipped out of the pot with roots wrapped and protected with minimal planting medium for safe transportation. Each plant is gallon-grown and pruned to approximately 14 inches tall for shipping.
