A set of two Honeyberry plants: Aurora and Blue Banana.
With their exceptional hardiness, honeyberry plants can be planted at any time of year as long as the ground isn’t frozen, and are easy to care for in pots over the winter, making them a wonderfully unique Christmas gift.
Please note: honeyberries are deciduous so at this time of year they do not have leaves.
Honeyberries have a richer, more intense berry flavour than blueberries with a slightly softer texture. This unique flavour is best described as a mix between blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, with a hint of blackcurrant. Some varieties also have subtle notes of strawberry, cherry or even a slight tang of kiwi.
Honeyberries require a pollination partner for the best fruit production - we've chosen these two varieties for great compatibility!

The ‘Aurora’ Honeyberry variety is known for producing large, sweet-tasting berries with a firm texture and excellent flavour.

Blue Banana Honeyberry Plant
The ‘Blue Banana’ Honeyberry is a standout variety prized for its distinctive elongated fruit, reminiscent of a tiny blue banana. With its sweet, tangy flavour and impressive size, it’s one of the most visually striking and delicious honeyberries you can grow in the UK.
