If there was an award for the most easygoing shrub, Kodiak Orange diervilla would most certainly take first place. This fast-growing shrub with native roots will grow just about anywhere in your landscape—sun or shade, moist or dry, even along the deer’s path. All summer long, its small, yellow flowers draw in pollinating bees and hummingbirds. The real show comes in autumn when its foliage glows the most vivid orange-red you could imagine, easily rivaling non-native burning bush.
