Kodiak Fresh® (Diervilla hybrid)

Breathe new life into your landscape with Kodiak Fresh® Diervilla—a dynamic native shrub that brings movement, color, and seasonal charm to any garden. Its fresh, invigorating energy begins with vibrant new growth in tones of lively orange, gradually maturing to a sophisticated lime green that remains vivid all season long. This graceful foliage creates a striking contrast in mixed plantings and offers a medium-to-large texture that elevates both formal and naturalistic designs. Come summer, Kodiak Fresh® dazzles with sprays of sunny, tubular yellow blossoms—an open invitation to hummingbirds and a favorite among cut flower enthusiasts seeking brightness and longevity. Effortlessly hardy, pollinator-friendly, and visually uplifting, this is a shrub that doesn’t just fill space—it enlivens it. Plant it where it can shine: front and center, where its cheerful disposition can refresh the entire garden.
