Honeybee™ Bush Honeysuckle

Golden sunspots for your landscape, the eye-popping Honeybee™ Diervilla (Diervilla rivularis 'Diwibru01') will brighten any corner of your garden this year! Vivid chartreuse foliage that is a saturated brilliant gold adorns this shrub all growing season! The cold weather brings incredible red fall color to the table as well to round out the growing season!

Also known as Bush Honeysuckle, Diervilla are named for their gorgeous blooms that resemble their namesakes, and attract an equal amount of pollinators and Hummingbirds to their sweetly-scented, equally brilliant yellow blooms! You'll love watching flitting hummingbirds and fat bumblebees moving between the trumpet-shaped flowers that show up all spring!

Honeybee™ Diervilla becomes a densely branched little shrub that forms underground suckers in a polite manner without overcrowding or overtaking their home in your garden. But these will provide thickets and colonies that birds love nesting and sheltering in! Exceptionally hardy throughout USDA growing zones 4 to 7, this little deciduous shrub only grows into a tidy 2-3 feet in height while spreading about 3-4 feet wide.

Planting and Application:

Diervilla are great shrubs for those tough dry, partly shaded areas of your landscape! So Rock Gardens, that 'hell-strip' along the road or your driveway, or that weird location on the east side of your house all receive the Midas touch! In addition to dry sites, Bush Honeysuckle shrubs hold soil along shorelines, water features, and higher moisture locations too!

Equally adept in normal garden conditions, it's great as low hedging and backdrops, for accenting mixed shrub borders and adding a punch of color to your landscape! Honeybee™ brightens Rose gardens and Cottage borders, adds vivid color to pathways, and foundation plantings as facer shrubs. Or use it as gilded edging before rows of dark evergreen shrubs and hedges to really set things off!

Honeybee™ Direvilla is also ideal for naturalizing and colonizing large areas so it's no wonder it's so widely used in commercial settings! Great for island plantings in parking lots and areas where snow gets plowed and piled onto. If the snow breaks the branching, they readily regrow from the roots in spring each year! Imagine how this tough little shrub will work for you in your home landscape! Use on hard-to-mow slopes, slow rain, and drifting snow, and are fantastic for erosion control on hillsides.
