Description

(Bush Honeysuckle) Fantastic foliage in full sun to full shade! Diervilla Kodiak® Red 2.0 is a tough little plant that is easy to grow. Standing 3-4 feet tall, the glossy, green foliage is an attractive shade of red in the Spring and Fall with red tips during the summer. Kodiak® Red 2.0 features brighter shades of red that last through the summer. Then, watch out fall, Kodiak® Red 2.0 is a hot little shrub! Not only does Kodiak® Red 2.0 have great foliage, it also has bright red stems. The newer the growth, the more vibrant the color. We recommend trimming your plant back in the fall. In midsummer, bright yellow flowers dapple the glossy green foliage. Diervilla Kodiak® Red 2.0 attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. The best part, Diervilla Kodiak® Red 2.0 can be grown in full sun to full shade, although the best color appears in sun. This native variety is drought tolerant and deer resistant. A Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Shrub.

Reviews

They arrived. They were in good health. Two of the three thrived. A third took a while to decide that it liked where it was planted, but is now growing. The first new leaves were brown, but the newer leaves are ruddier, though not yet to the colot in the photo.

I placed 2 of these in a primarily shaded location. They have flourished and provided some color to the location, with no interest from the deer. I would agree with the description that they likely would provide more color with more sun, but happy to have them providing the backdrop I was seeking on the outer edge of a patio perennial garden despite the lack of sunlight.
