Diervilla Kodiak Jet Black® Bush Honeysuckle
Bring dramatic contrast and dependable performance to the landscape with Diervilla Kodiak Jet Black®, a breakthrough bush honeysuckle known for its deep black foliage that holds its color all season. Unlike other varieties that fade in summer, this compact shrub maintains rich, velvety darkness from spring through fall, setting the perfect stage for its bright yellow early and midsummer flowers. Hardy in USDA Zones 3 through 8, it offers outstanding resilience, adapting easily to a range of soils while resisting deer, drought, and disease.

Its bold coloring and compact, mounded form make it ideal for beds, borders, containers, rain gardens, and xeriscapes. Native heritage ensures strong support for pollinators, with bees and butterflies flocking to its sunny blooms. Indoors, its striking foliage performs beautifully as a filler in cut flower arrangements, offering a fresh way to extend its appeal beyond the garden.
Plant this diervilla in sun to part shade and average to moderately moist soil, including clay or alkaline conditions. Its tough constitution, easy-care nature, and vivid fall color make it a reliable choice for gardeners seeking long-lasting visual interest.
