Lonicera nitida (Box Honeysuckle)

Box honeysuckle is a small dense evergreen shrub with small leathery leaf. Small but fragrant flower appears in pain in spring followed by a bluish blackish fruit. Birds love them. Fast growing spreading plants, if kept un-pruned will get a messy habit. It is used as border plant or small hedge.
