Diervilla Proven Winners® KODIAK® BLACK (PBR) is a compact deciduous shrub noted for its very dark foliage and tough, adaptable nature. In spring, new shoots appear deep purple-black, soon forming a dense framework of rich, dark leaves that hold their colour well throughout the growing season. During early to mid-summer, small clusters of bright yellow flowers open along the stems, creating a striking contrast against the foliage while attracting pollinating insects. As the season progresses the foliage deepens in tone before leaf fall. Hardy and resilient in UK gardens, it grows well in most free-draining soils and succeeds in both sunny and partially shaded positions, making it well suited to borders, mass planting, and low-maintenance landscapes.
