are herbaceous plants that are related to honeysuckle, but are grown primarily for their fruit, which grow in tight clumps just over the leaves, and are red or white, depending on the species. They are easily grown and long-lived, thriving in partial shade under deciduous trees or with small shrubs.
Triosteum himalayanum has rounded, rough leaves, and large, round, red fruit. The flowers are rather small, but rather pretty if you look closely.
