Description
Dark red-to-purple foliage gives Diervilla splendens El Madrigal its main display, with bright yellow tubular flowers appearing from late spring into summer. The leaves deepen to purplish red in fall.
Its broad, suckering habit suits mixed borders, low hedges, and patio containers. Plant it in full sun or partial shade in well-drained soil and provide regular moisture while it establishes.
The yellow flowers attract pollinators. Established plants are low maintenance, and pruning in late winter or early spring can remove dead wood or control size.
