Diervilla × 'Kodiak Fresh®' brings bright, changing foliage and steady summer bloom to tough spots in your yard. In spring, new leaves emerge orange to orange-red, then mature to a vivid lime-yellow that stays fresh-looking through the growing season. Clusters of small, tubular yellow flowers appear in summer and keep coming for weeks, adding a warm accent and drawing pollinators. By fall, the foliage shifts again toward glowing orange tones, giving you multiple seasons of interest in a single, compact plant.

Expect a tidy, upright-to-mounded shrub that typically reaches 24-36 inches tall and about as wide. Use it to edge a border, add color at the front of a mixed shrub bed, or repeat it in masses for an easy, cohesive design. It also works well in naturalized areas, where its suckering habit can gently fill in over time, and in mixed containers as a sturdy mid-height feature.

Plant Diervilla × 'Kodiak Fresh®' in full sun for the strongest foliage color and best flowering, though it also performs well in part shade and even full shade. It adapts to a range of soils, including clay and lean ground, as long as drainage is reasonable. Water regularly during establishment; after that, it handles typical garden conditions well, including periods of drier soil, yet it can also tolerate more consistently moist sites when planted in well-drained ground.

Care is straightforward: mulch to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperatures, and trim in spring as needed. Because it flowers on new wood, you can prune without worrying about removing next season's buds. A deeper renewal prune every few years helps keep the plant dense and vigorous. Pair it with perennials or grasses that complement its bright foliage and enjoy a reliable, low-fuss shrub that performs across many light conditions.
