Bush Honeysuckle

Diervilla

Diervilla rivularis full sun

Named after a surgeon called Dierville, this small genus is native to the southeastern United States and related to Honeysuckle and Weigela.

This noteworthy upright species features red-tinged stems and striking opposite foliage, which initially imparts warm coppery bronze tones and matures into a deep green with a red midrib, beautifully offsetting delicate lemon-yellow flowers. Our Bush Honeysuckle is planted in the border next to Euphorbia ‘Red Martin’ for toasty reddish hued echoes.

Blooms July–September.

Size: 5' high x 5' wide; hardy to zone 5.

Customer Comment:

“In a busy business, you may get lulled into thinking it's all about orders, supplies, shipping, etc.  But it's not just about that.  It's also about the happiness your flowers brought to a little girl who has endured a great deal in her young life, and the happiness that plants bring to us all, young and old.”
