{"product_id":"kodiak-jet-black-honeysuckle-bush","title":"Kodiak Jet Black® Bush Honeysuckle","description":"\u003cp\u003eKodiak Jet Black® Bush Honeysuckle (Diervilla x 'SMNDSN') is a tough, deciduous shrub with nearly black foliage that holds its dark color all season, set off by clusters of bright yellow flowers in summer. It grows 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, and it is hardy in zones 3 through 8.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlenty of dark-leaved shrubs fade to muddy green by midsummer. Kodiak Jet Black® keeps its burgundy-black leaves from spring until fall, so it works as reliable dark contrast next to chartreuse, silver or golden plants. It blooms on new wood, so the yellow flowers come on each year's growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse it in borders, mass plantings and naturalized areas, or as the centerpiece of a large container. It spreads slowly by suckers, which helps it fill in a bank or a low-care bed. Space plants 3 to 4 feet apart. Bees, butterflies and hummingbirds visit the flowers, and the dark foliage makes good filler for cut arrangements. Despite the common name, bush honeysuckle is a different plant from the invasive Asian honeysuckles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant it in full sun for the darkest color, though it also grows in part shade. It adapts to most soils, including dry ones, as long as they do not stay soggy. Trim it in early spring if you want to shape it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd Kodiak Jet Black® Bush Honeysuckle to your cart for dark foliage that stays dark all season.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Proven Winners","offers":[{"title":"#1 Container","offer_id":62529976205682,"sku":"24200","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/naturehills.com\/products\/kodiak-jet-black-honeysuckle-bush","provider":"Nature Hills Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
