The story

A native that earns its spot.

Not the invasive honeysuckle. This is a compact native shrub with copper-red new leaves that settle to burgundy-green and flare again in fall. Small yellow tubular flowers in summer bring in bees.

Light

Full sun gives the best leaf color; it takes shade.

Water

Water weekly the first summer. Drought tolerant after.

Planting

Plant in spring or fall in any well-drained soil, including clay and slopes.

A tough native for difficult spots that still looks like something.
