Description / Diervilla Kodiak Jet Black® Bush Honeysuckle
Diervilla Kodiak Jet Black® Bush Honeysuckle brings an unforgettable mix of dramatic foliage and sunny blooms to the garden. This compact shrub emerges in spring with deep brown leaves that quickly darken to a true jet black, creating a striking backdrop that holds its color through the heat of summer. Bright yellow flowers appear in early and midsummer, standing out beautifully against the dark foliage and drawing in bees and butterflies. The foliage often shifts toward rich fall tones as the season cools, extending its ornamental value.
With a mature size of 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, Kodiak Jet Black® fits naturally into beds, borders, mass plantings, and containers. It also works well in rain gardens, wet areas, and xeric landscapes due to its adaptability. The dramatic leaves make excellent cut foliage for arrangements, adding a unique garden to vase connection. As a North American native hybrid, it offers ecological benefits and reliable garden performance.
This award winning member of the Proven Winners® Color Choice® Flowering Shrubs collection thrives in full sun to part shade and tolerates clay and alkaline soils. It is deer resistant, drought tolerant once established, and cold hardy in USDA Zones 3 through 8. Low maintenance and highly adaptable, Kodiak Jet Black® is an exceptional choice for gardeners looking to add color contrast, pollinator activity, and dependable structure throughout the growing season.
