Diervilla (Bush Honeysuckle)
Color Name: Kodiak® Red
Kodiak Red diervilla is a native flowering shrub that looks great while shrugging off shade, problem soils, and even deer. New growth emerges in spring with a rich red tone, and turns vivid red in fall. During summer, leaves have a red edge and clusters of small yellow flowers appear all season. It's a simple but beautiful way to add low-maintenance color to parts of your yard that have been difficult to landscape.
Growing Tips: Diervilla needs very little care - if you'd like to prune it, do so in early spring. It does not require regular pruning, but if it starts to get a little sparse as it matures, cut it back to the ground in early spring for a fresh start.
