Italian woodbine
Symbol of love bonds 





With its long flexible stems, the perfoliate honeysuckle (Lonicera caprifolium) wraps itself around the supports and tall trees like a liana. Its climbing stems can reach up to 6 meters.
It blooms in spring, and its fragrance fills the surrounding air, especially at sunset, attracting pollinating insects
. The flowers are white or yellowish
with reddish hues.


The fruit is a bright red berry, poisonous due to the presence of alkaloids.
Honeysuckle prefers woodland edges and hedges in full sun.


Since ancient times, honeysuckle has been a symbol of love bonds
and a good luck for young couples.
