Diervilla Splendens Honey Surprise (‘Diwibru02) (PBR) | 2L Pot

Colourful foliage and early summer flowers. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, well-drained Rate of growth: average Flowering period: May to June Hardiness: fully hardy Emerging in a bronze-orange flush, the foliage of this decorative deciduous shrub soon develops its green with yellow variegations as it matures. Then, in late spring and early summer, small clusters of slender-petalled yellow flowers appear, helping to attract bees and butterflies to the garden. A colourful addition to the patio, it is also useful in a mixed or shrub border, where it will offer a gorgeous colour contrast. Garden care: Cut back to a low, permanent framework each spring as the buds are beginning to swell, and apply a generous layer of mulch around the base of the plant.
