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.

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.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
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!
