Every garden needs its share of pollinator plants that you needn't lift so much as a finger to enjoy at their best, and Kodiak Red diervilla is one such plant. This North American native boasts neatly arranged leaves, each one directly opposite its neighbor, and a constant smattering of cute yellow flowers in summer. They attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators, and the leaves host hummingbird moth caterpillars. New growth emerges with a flush of red, and come autumn, the whole plant goes a brilliant purple-red that is the perfect send-off to the season.

All of the Kodiak diervillas are perfect for a variety of landscaping applications, from hedges to backdrops to specimens - they can even be intermixed among your pollinator perennials!

Very happy with these!

Plants arrived this Fall very healthy with excellent root systems, and were a nice size. They showed no shock at all with planting nor since. I’m excited to see what they do next year with the flowers and whether they’ll turn red (the spot I planted 5 of them is mostly shade).

Hopeful.

Might be deer resistant but deer still chewed on it. So far it's still alive. I bought a small container so it's still small thanks to the deer pruning. But I'm hopeful it continues to grow.
