Diervilla x ‘SMNDSN’ PP36,846
Choose Kodiak Jet Black® Diervilla for dark foliage contrast in a tough pollinator shrub; the tradeoff is that it reads more as a foliage plant than a big-flower centerpiece.

PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The dark foliage gives strong contrast, especially against green, gold, or light-colored plants. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in at a steady pace without behaving like a fast, loose shrub. |
| Maintenance | A- | It usually needs little more than cleanup pruning and sensible watering while establishing. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | A- | Its compact, mounded habit makes it useful in tighter beds without constant pruning. |
| Screening Value | D | This is not the shrub to buy if privacy or winter coverage is the main goal. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd use it in groups or beside lighter foliage so the dark color does real work; give it more sun if leaf color matters most.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it flower?
Yes, it carries yellow summer flowers, but the foliage is the main reason to buy it.
Will it work in a foundation bed?
Yes, if you want a compact deciduous shrub rather than evergreen structure.
Is it good for pollinators?
Yes, the summer flowers are useful for bees and other pollinators.
Why buy for fall color
- See the actual color before you buy it
- Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
- Fall planting means roots established before winter
