    Features

    Upgrade your fall color display with this upgraded plant! Kodiak Red 2.0 is sure to delight you with darker, longer lasting color. The blush on the new growth throughout the growing season is more reliable and the red of the fall color is intense. It’s a warm red with hints of orange. All throughout the summer, little yellow flowers appear, feeding pollinators discreetly. It’s an ideal plant for the middle of the border, mixed hedges, native plantings, and even cut flower gardens where its foliage is perfect as filler.

    Uses Notes:

    Maintenance Notes: 

    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.

    Fun Facts: 

    Diervilla is sometimes called "bush honeysuckle," and though it is related to honeysuckle, diervilla flowers are not fragrant. However, more importantly, diervilla is NOT invasive, so it's a safe choice for planting anywhere. They work well for naturalizing an area as they spread a little bit by suckering.
