Cool Splash Dwarf Bush Honeysuckle 1 Live Plant – Diervilla sessilifolia ‘LDPC Podaras’ – 3 Gallon Pot

Cool Splash® Dwarf Bush Honeysuckle (Diervilla sessilifolia ‘LDPC Podaras’) is a deciduous ornamental shrub known for its distinctive green-and-white variegated foliage and compact, spreading growth habit. Its elongated leaves feature green centers bordered by creamy-white margins, creating a bright, contrasting appearance throughout the growing season.

In summer, clusters of small, tubular yellow flowers appear among the foliage, providing additional seasonal interest and attracting visiting pollinators. This cultivar is valued for its adaptability, tolerance of partial shade, and ability to bring light-colored foliage into woodland borders, mixed shrub plantings, and foundation landscapes.

Supplied as one live Cool Splash Dwarf Bush Honeysuckle in a 3 gallon nursery pot, this shrub measures approximately 12 inches tall at the time of shipping. It generally grows well in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Its compact, spreading form makes it suitable for ornamental borders, mass plantings, and landscape areas where variegated foliage is desired.
