Diervilla sessilifolia 'Butterfly'

Diervilla sessilifolia 'Butterfly' brightens summer gardens with vibrant yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers that attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators. This hardy, deciduous shrub forms a dense, spreading mound of rich green foliage, often with bronze-tinged tips, and is remarkably tolerant of drought and shade. Its suckering, spreading habit makes it ideal for stabilising banks, controlling erosion, or filling tricky gaps, thriving even in challenging areas. Perfect for mixed borders, woodland edges or naturalised plantings, it delivers reliable, long-lasting garden interest year after year whilst demanding little maintenance. Ultimate height and spread: 1.5m (4.9ft).
