Kodiak Fresh® Honeysuckle (Diervilla x 'SMNDSS') is a compact, adaptable native shrub designed for tough sites and modern landscapes. This cultivar delivers vibrant seasonal interest with orange-red new growth that matures to a bold lime-yellow in summer, complemented by small clusters of yellow flowers. Its compact, 2–3' mounded form and spreading habit make it useful for mass plantings, erosion control, or low-maintenance design. Performs equally well in sun or shade, tolerates drought once established, and requires minimal input from growers or end users. It’s deer-resistant, pollinator-friendly, and ideal for ecological landscapes or urban plantings. An easy sell for durable color with native roots.
