Diervilla 'Honeybee'

Diervilla 'Honeybee' is the sort of shrub that lives up to its name with a flourish. From the moment its foliage emerges in spring, the leaves glow in a vivid, lemony yellow that seems to catch the light at every angle. This golden backdrop becomes even more dazzling when midsummer arrives and the plant produces clusters of golden-yellow flowers that seem to hum with life. Rich in nectar, these blooms are a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making Diervilla 'Honeybee' a natural choice for anyone hoping to inject both colour and biodiversity into their planting schemes.

Compact yet energetic, this mountain bush honeysuckle combines decorative foliage with long-lasting seasonal interest. The brightness of the leaves keeps borders fresh through the warmer months, while the cheerful flowers provide a second act that continues the golden theme well into autumn. As the year progresses, the leaves often take on warmer tones, adding another layer of richness to its display. Diervilla 'Honeybee' is perfectly suited to mixed borders, wildlife-friendly gardens, or as a vivid highlight in more contemporary planting designs. With its combination of ornamental foliage, nectar-rich blooms, and easy-going nature, Diervilla 'Honeybee' is the sort of shrub that quietly earns its keep—bringing a touch of sunshine and a steady buzz of activity wherever it grows.
