新密市尖山景區位于鄭州市西45公里的深山區屬雙牛山的余脈，海拔高度在300-1100米之間，時轄面積50平方公里。這里是金銀花的古鄉，是金銀花人工栽培發祥地。尖山地區所產金銀花在以它的"花條長、質優凈、骨茬硬""色茶直斜相伴，垂而不倒、茶水金黃，味香濃郁"居全國同類產品之冠，素有"五指嶺金針"之美名，堪稱"老字號"名不虛傳。
      
    金銀花方稱銀花，別名二花、雙花、二寶花、鴛鴦花、花翁須、通靈草等，金銀花系忍冬種。為半常綠多年生藤莖纏繞灌木。其根、莖、葉、花、實均可入藥。藥用、茶用主要指干燥后的金銀花蕾。1984年被國家醫藥總局把金銀花明確定為35種名貴中藥材之一。
      
    金銀花植株根系發達、耐寒、耐旱、耐瘠薄，適應性強，生長壽命長。
      
    金銀花雖在國內多處有所分布，主要產區在河南稱之南花，山東稱之東花。產地不同藥用商品名稱各異。歷史上，河南主產地在新密尖山地區。《本草綱目》載"銀花出自密縣五指嶺下"。五指嶺地處中岳嵩山東側的群山之中，轄尖山景區全境。周圍群山林立，峽谷縱橫，山間有"三龍戲水、潭澤空懸"之論。雙牛二山臥于其中。這里夏、秋季節，云霧繚繞、森林茂密、百花叢生。金銀花采收季節，滿山遍野的金銀花萌發出泌人肺腑的清香濃味。
      
    治寒消腫、久服輕身、延年益壽。"明代李時珍所著《本草綱目》記載"泡茶常飲、可補虛療風、延年益壽"《綱目拾遺》記載："金銀花能開胃寬中、清熱解毒、治暑溫口渴、熱毒瘡療"。現代藥物學家研究，金銀花能清熱解毒、抗菌消炎、散痛止痢。臨床應用證明，金銀花對細菌性引發的呼吸道傳染急慢性炎癥、流感發熱等療效顯著。在體外試驗，對葡萄球菌、傷寒桿菌、副傷寒桿菌、變形桿菌、結核桿菌、腦膜炎雙球菌、肺炎雙球菌均有較好的抑制作用。非典時期，金銀花更為熱銷產品和搶手貨。    
      
    尖山地區人民在黨的惠民政策扶植下，退耕還林，栽種銀花種植規模已達1萬畝，2003年被河南省農業廳確認為"無公害金銀花生產基地"，2006年被鄭州市旅游局、鄭州市旅游協會評為"金銀花系列產品銀質獎"，是尖山地區人民脫貧致富一項支柱產業。
