(Diervilla) KODIAK JET BLACK™ Diervilla is sure to add contrast to your garden with its striking dark foliage. While other Diervilla tend to fade in the heat of the summer, this variety does not. It features deep maroon, nearly black foliage with small, bright yellow flowers that emerge in the summer. Hardy in zones 3-8, it grows best in full sun to part shade locations in the garden, the more sun, the deeper the foliage color. It stands 3-4 feet tall and wide, staying neat and compact. It will grow in just about any soil type but does not like soggy soils. KODIAK JET BLACK™ Diervilla is an excellent plant for mass plantings, borders, or foundations. It also stands out in the garden when planted as a specimen. Its bright yellow flowers attract pollinators in the summer, and its foliage can be cut and brought indoors for arrangements. KODIAK JET BLACK™ Diervilla blooms on new growth and can be trimmed in the spring regularly. Give this stunning native shrub a try in your garden! KODIAK JET BLACK™ Diervilla is a PROVEN WINNERS® COLORCHOICE® Flowering Shrub.
