This is a deciduous shrub that grows to 6’ tall and 10’ wide. It bears ovate to oblong, lance-shaped, bright green leaves that are hairy underneath and along the margins. Flowers from March ti July.  By early June ripe berries are on display. When they mature, bright red bracts surround purple-black to jet-black doubled fruit. Fruit are globose berries up to 3/8” in width. Young branches have yellow bark which ages to yellow-brown.  As with most honeysuckles, the twinberries attract hummingbirds, bees and butterflies.  This species prefers full sun to partial shade. It thrives in a wide array of soils and sites. As a native plant, it will populate moist sites along streams and swamps, as well as along the ocean near sand dunes.
