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.

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:NOTE: This plant has the common name bush honeysuckle, but it is not the same as the invasive species known by the same common name. This plant's scientific name is Diervilla, while the invasive plant's scientific name is Lonicera. This plant spreads by suckering, which is helpful for naturalizing an area.
