New to American shores, this bush form of Honeysuckle is native to eastern Siberia. ‘Blue Belle’™ offers a sweet, easy to grow treat in the form of oodles of dark blue, oblong, almost Blueberry-tasting berries that mature in June. This fruit is perfect for fresh eating by the handful or sprinkled on your favorite early summer treat like ice cream for an even sweeter rush of flavor. ‘Blue Belle’™ is a dense, rounded shrub with tight branching that holds deep green, elongated foliage. Small, white flowers bloom along its branches in April while foliage is emerging leading to the incredible array of fruit that quickly matures by late spring. ‘Blue Belle’™ loves full sun and well-drained soil and is as tough as nails as you might expect with its Siberian heritage. Plant another selection nearby for best pollination and fruit set although you will get some fruit if planted alone.
