Diervilla lonicera 'Copper'

Copper bush honeysuckle

Bush-honeysuckle is rugged and has a long bloom season, making it a great choice for a butterfly garden. Its delightfully odd fruits provide mid-summer interest and attract birds. 'Copper' is aptly named for the copper-red color of the new growth that eventually fades green.
