Characteristics
Lonicera morrowii × L. tatarica = L. ×bella Zabel
pretty honeysuckle
Bottomland forests and thickets, deciduous forests, successional fields and shrublands, roadsides, and disturbed areas. Similar habitats to L. morrowii and like it forming dense thickets in forest understories. Often growing mixed with L. morrowii (one of its parents) but not with L. tatarica (its other parent). It appears that abundant introgression or backcrossing with L. morrowii occurs.
