Honeysuckle Herb - Herbal Tea
Honeysuckle HerbNative to the Northern Hemisphere, Honeysuckle is a flowering shrub with twining branches. Although some varieties are white or yellow, the bright orange flower of the Honeysuckle is more commonly known and is celebrated for its sweet nectar that attracts hummingbirds. The Honeysuckle produces a berry that contains the seed and most varieties of Honeysuckle berry are poisonous with only a few species being edible. The Honeysuckle most common in the United States is considered an invasive weed and is controlled by cutting and burning all the way to the root; this process has to be repeated every couple of weeks until the root is completely dead. While most Honeysuckle in the US is used decoratively many people enjoy plucking a blossom and sucking out the sweet nectar. The Japanese variety is used for its culinary and medicinal value.
