Notes
'Polar Jewel' honeyberry (Lonicera caerulea 'Polar Jewel') is a shrub for hedges and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. It grows 36 to 60 inches tall and wide, so give it room. Creamy white flowers open from mid to late spring into early summer. Deer tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Alpine currant, Snowflake moss phlox, Bogatyr garlic, and Strawberry Blonde Calendula.
