Rugged beauty for the toughest spots in your landscape.
Kodiak® Red diervilla is a native flowering shrub that looks great while shrugging off shade and problem soils. New growth emerges in spring with a deep burgundy 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.
Top reasons to grow Kodiak Red diervilla:
- One of the toughest landscape plants around!
- Foliage emerges red and turns bright red in fall.
- Yellow flowers all summer long.

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.

I bought this from a nursery a few miles north so our zone 8A could be an issue? It’s so beautiful and cold tolerant I decided to risk it. The tag said 3 to 4 feet tall and wide which is different than the info here... Might need some fairly severe pruning. It transplanted beautifully and thriving immediately. It will provide some great winter color when the native perennials are done.
