Diervilla x Splendens Mountaineer® Calico Red
Bright chartreuse foliage tipped in red makes this hardy native a standout all season long. A fast grower with bold color from spring through fall, it also adds texture in winter. Yellow trumpet-shaped flowers bloom in early to mid-summer. Great in sun or shade, Calico Red is a tough, versatile pick for hedges, slopes, or as a colorful alternative to Spirea or Weigela. Thrives in well-drained soil.(Photo Courtesy of Hortech Inc.)
