Diervilla × ‘SMNDSFS’
Choose Kodiak® Fresh Bush Honeysuckle if you want a tough, green-yellow foliage shrub for hard-working beds; the tradeoff is modest flower show and limited screening.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B | Its fresh foliage gives useful contrast, but it is more of a supporting shrub than a focal point. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It fills in quickly enough for new beds without becoming a constant pruning problem. |
| Maintenance | A- | A light shaping after flowering is usually enough to keep it looking tidy. |
| 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 in average foundation beds, but it still needs room to grow naturally. |
| Screening Value | C | It has useful density for filling space, but it is too low and informal for real privacy. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this as a durable filler shrub for mixed borders, not as the main showpiece. Give it enough room, and avoid over-pruning it into a tight ball.

No, this is Diervilla, commonly called bush honeysuckle, and it is a different plant.
No, buy it for the foliage color and toughness; the flowers are a bonus.
No, it is useful in leaner sites as long as it gets established with regular watering.

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…
