Diervilla × ‘SMNDSF’
Choose Kodiak® Black Bush Honeysuckle for dark foliage in a tough shrub spot; the tradeoff is that it is more of a foliage plant than a big-flower showpiece.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The dark leaves give strong contrast, though the flowers are secondary. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It fills in quickly enough for new plantings without becoming a large shrub. |
| Maintenance | A | It usually needs only light shaping and cleanup once established. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B+ | It works well in smaller beds if you leave room for its natural rounded shape. |
| Screening Value | C | It can soften edges but will not provide dense privacy, especially in winter. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for dry, sunny-to-light-shade edges where foliage color matters more than flowers. Prune lightly after it settles in, not into a stiff box.
| Mature Height | 3.5 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 3.5 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 4a-7a |
| Spacing | 3.5 ft |
| Sun | Full Sun to Part Shade |
| Moisture | Dry to average |
| Growth Habit | Rounded, mounding, compact |
No, this is Diervilla, commonly called bush honeysuckle, not the invasive shrub honeysuckles.
Give it brighter light and avoid overfeeding, which can push softer green growth.
It has yellow summer flowers, but buy it mainly for foliage and toughness.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
