Kodiak Jet Black Honeysuckle is a vigorous native deciduous shrub with upright stems branches. Its broadly lanced leaves emerge a near-black burgundy that holds in summer before turning deep crimson red in fall. The small tubular yellow flowers pop against the foliage as it blooms at the stem tips from early to mid summer. Best color in full sun and well-drained soil. Tolerates deer and drought.
