Box-leaved honeysuckle is characterized by its low-lying, horizontal branching habit, which allows it to effectively cover ground as an evergreen to semi-evergreen shrub. These branches have a tendency to root when making contact with the soil, helping the plant to spread. It features small, box-like leaves and bears inconspicuous yet fragrant flowers, followed by berries that are tucked beneath the foliage. The leaves and branches form a dense mat, growing up to 2 feet (60 cm) in height. The berries are slightly toxic.
