Kodiak Jet Black®
Diervilla
High contrast draws the eye, and Kodiak Jet Black diervilla is just the shrub to provide it. Its foliage is nearly black and remains just the same all growing season. In the summer, the contrast heightens with bright yellow flowers that draw equally colorful pollinators in for a feast. Ideal for native gardens, pollinator patches, and filling borders.
