    Fun Facts: 

    NOTE: This plant has the common name bush honeysuckle, but it is not the same as the invasive species known by the same common name. This plant's scientific name is Diervilla, while the invasive plant's scientific name is Lonicera. This plant spreads by suckering, which is helpful for naturalizing an area.
