Wildlife: The juicy
fruits of all honeysuckles are relished by birds and the thick growth provides
shelter for birds and small mammals.
Horticulture: Honeysuckles, depending on
the species, may be used in the landscape as slope stabalizers, screening
plants, informal hedges or as border specimens. The Tatarian honeysuckle
(L. tatarica) has many cultivars, including 'Alba,' with pure white
flowers; 'Arnold Red,' with the darkest red flowers of all honeysuckles
and supposedly resistant to honeysuckle aphid; and 'Nana,' of dwarf habit
(3 feet tall) with pink flowers.
