Description
Add vibrant, low-maintenance color to your garden with Bush Honeysuckle – Ru-Bee Wren™ (Diervilla rivularis Ru-Bee Wren™), a U.S. native shrub prized for its dazzling foliage and pollinator-friendly blooms. In spring, new growth emerges a brilliant crimson before maturing to deep green, setting the stage for bright yellow, nectar-rich flowers in early summer. By fall, the foliage transforms into a stunning mix of yellow to orange, while dry fruit capsules attract songbirds well into winter.
Perfect for small gardens and tough sites, Ru-Bee Wren™ is a dense, mounded shrub that thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts easily to various conditions. It’s deer resistant, drought tolerant once established, and an excellent source of food for butterflies and birds. With its vivid color transitions and easy care, this compact shrub delivers multi-season beauty and ecological value to any landscape.
Each plant comes in a #3 (3 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
