Lonicera confusa, commonly known as Soft-Leafed Honeysuckle, is an evergreen or semi-deciduous vine native to forest margins and scrub areas in Southeast Asia. It can climb to heights of 15-25 feet (5-8 meters) with a spread of up to 3 feet (0.9 meters). This species is characterized by its twining stems and soft, lush foliage. It bears fragrant yellow flowers that bloom in the spring and summer, which are followed by black berries that are often hidden among the leaves.

Soft-Leafed Honeysuckle is valued for its sweetly scented flowers and its ability to cover trellises, arbors, and fences, creating a lush green backdrop in gardens. It is used for ornamental purposes in both private and public landscapes. While it prefers full sun or part shade, it is adaptable to a variety of light conditions. The plant requires medium amounts of water and thrives in soils with medium drainage. Gardeners should be aware that in some areas, Lonicera species can become invasive, so it is important to manage its growth and spread.CC BY-SA 4.0
