Kodiak Orange Diervilla
Diervilla x splendens 'G2X88544'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Shrub
Plant Family: Caprifoliaceae
Plant Description: A stunning colorful hybrid cultivar of a resilient North American native shrub. Diervillas, also known as Bush Honeysuckles, are not invasive like some of their honeysuckle relatives. New spring growth is red and matures to soft green in the summer. The delicate yellow blossoms benefit a variety of pollinators. Dramatic fall foliage in glowing shades of orange makes it a great alternative to Burning Bush. An adaptable and unfussy choice for borders and mass plantings.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Shrub - Renewal
Plant Care: Shrub - Renewal (woody multi-stemmed plants that lose their leaves every winter and look best on younger stems, which emerge from the base of the plant): Prune regularly to promote health, provide air circulation, maintain a desirable shape, and to remove dead or damaged branches. Pruning is best done in late winter to early spring for most shrubs. With spring blooming shrubs, prune after the blooms are spent. When pruning, remove 1/3rd of the oldest branches by cutting at the base of the shrub. Monitor for pests, diseases or other ailments on a regular basis.
