Diervilla rivularis 'Kodiak Orange' is a charming, deciduous shrub that captivates with its brilliant orange-yellow foliage in the fall and delightful late-summer blooms. This compact and bushy plant enhances any garden setting, whether it be a mixed border, a wildlife sanctuary, or a naturalistic landscape, providing a stunning seasonal display that is both eye-catching and beneficial to local ecosystems. Its hardiness and adaptability make it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners seeking vibrant color and wildlife attraction.
Reaching a height and spread of approximately 120 cm (4 ft), this shrub boasts a rounded growth habit that adds fullness to any garden design. The small, trumpet-shaped yellow flowers emerge from July to September, creating a striking contrast against the dark green leaves that transform into a vivid palette of orange and yellow in autumn. This seasonal interest not only enhances the visual appeal of the garden but also serves as a magnet for pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, enriching the biodiversity of the area.
Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Diervilla rivularis 'Kodiak Orange' prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil and is tolerant of various soil types, including clay and sandy conditions. While it can withstand some drought once established, it flourishes with consistent moisture. This versatile shrub is perfect for large containers, patios, or as part of informal hedges, and it pairs beautifully with other autumn-hued plants like asters and ornamental grasses. With minimal maintenance required, a light pruning in late winter or early spring is all that is needed to maintain its shape and vitality.

Live Plants
Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
Non Standard Deliveries
