Diervilla splendens DIVA (PBR) is a hardy deciduous shrub grown for its rich burgundy foliage and contrasting summer flowers. Throughout the growing season, the plant carries deep wine-coloured leaves that create a bold backdrop in borders and mixed planting. In early to mid-summer, small clusters of clear yellow flowers open along the stems, providing a bright contrast against the dark foliage while also attracting pollinating insects. It develops into a dense, spreading shrub that suits borders, wildlife planting, and informal garden designs. Fully hardy in UK gardens, it adapts well to most soils that drain freely and grows successfully in both sunny and lightly shaded positions, making it a reliable and low-maintenance choice for long seasonal interest.
