Diervilla Mountaineer® Wasabi (D. x. 'Nonibas')

Mountaineer® Wasabi had proven to be strong, hardy, well-behaved and colorful. The original plant has never been sheared and it remains tightly branched and attractive. Wasabi features chartreuse-green foliage from spring to late summer, then becomes infused with orange and red during fall. It blooms early to midsummer with yellow trumpet-shaped flowers and grows well in sun or shade. Wasabi can substituted for golden Spirea or privet, and looks natural in our North American landscapes. It can be used as a hedge, specimen, soil stabilizer or bank cover and grows well in any well-drained soil.
