Meet Kodiak Orange Bush Honeysuckle, the bear-strong native shrub that's as beautiful as it is bold. A fantastic native alternative to invasive burning bush, this shrub blazes through the seasons with foliage igniting in copper-orange in spring, deepening to green for the summer months, then glowing brilliant orange-red in fall. This dense, vigorous shrub laughs in the face of drought, deer, and neglect, thriving where others may falter. Golden-yellow blooms charm pollinators all summer long while its resilient form anchors the landscape with enduring color. Choose Kodiak Orange for beauty that roars —tough, native, and spectacular year after year.
