Kintzley's Ghost honeysuckle may seem wild, but it's actually a native plant in North America. At first, it looks like any other honeysuckle with dusty green leaves. But as the season goes on, it surprises with flower buds that look like saucers and bracts that resemble eucalyptus. Plus, they attract pollinators like hummingbirds! In the fall, the flowers turn into red berries, but unlike other honeysuckles, they won't become a nuisance. With its size and changing appearances, this plant is truly a standout.
