Protected Series: FIRST EDITIONS
Zone: 3FIRST EDITIONS® DARK MODE™ HONEYSUCKLE
First Editions® Dark Mode™ Diervilla is a beautiful deciduous shrub that commands attention with its striking, near-black foliage and dark, burgundy-tinted stems. This compact, low-mounding shrub brings intense drama and rich contrast to garden borders, contrasting brilliantly against bright gold or variegated companion plants. Throughout summer, it erupts into a showy display of small yellow trumpet-shaped flowers that pop dramatically against the moody dark leaves while serving as an exceptional magnet for bees and butterflies.
For ideal performance, plant Dark Mode™ in a spot that receives full sun to partial shade; while it tolerates shadier conditions remarkably well, achieving the most intense, darkest leaf coloration requires at least several hours of direct sunlight daily. It thrives in average, well-draining soils and boasts fantastic drought tolerance once its root system is established, making it a stellar low-maintenance choice for slopes, mass plantings, or difficult urban soil conditions.
