Growing and Maintenance Tips
Diervilla is adaptable to most soils, including dry sites. It blooms on new wood making maintenance very easy. It can be pruned to shape in the spring without fear of damaging summer bloom. It is not invasive like some varieties of honeysuckle. Siturate in part shade to full sun. In more shade the foliage willl not be as bright.
