Lonicera aff. pamirica

One of the many deciduous shrubby honeysuckles from Central Asia, this is from the Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan, where it makes bushy well branched shrubs to 1.8m. Foliage is relatively small, pale blue-green and paler under. Small pink flowers in early summer are followed by a mass of small bright red berries, the colour of red-currants. Extremely hardy and drought tolerant.
