Lonicera conjugialis, commonly known as Purpleflower Honeysuckle, is a deciduous shrub native to the moist, open woodlands and forest edges of the western United States, particularly in mountainous regions. It can reach over 5 feet in height and is characterized by its slender form and oval to round leaves. The plant produces maroon red to deep purple flowers that bloom in pairs from the leaf axils, typically in the late spring to early summer. The flowers are moderately showy and are followed by bright red berries, which are often fused together and attract birds and other wildlife.

Purpleflower Honeysuckle is valued for its attractive flowers and berries, and its ability to thrive in moist, well-drained soils. It is often used in native plant gardens, as a border shrub, or for naturalizing in woodland settings. This species prefers partial shade to full sun and requires regular watering, especially in drier climates. While it is not known for major disease problems, it can be susceptible to powdery mildew. It is also important to note that while it is not typically invasive, it should be monitored to prevent unwanted spread in non-native areas.CC BY-SA 4.0
