Firefly Bush Honeysuckle (Diervilla sessilifolia 'Bocofire')

Firefly Bush Honeysuckle brings bright foliage color and dependable summer performance to the landscape in a compact form that stays useful in a wide range of planting situations. Its amber and honey-toned leaves help brighten borders, foundation beds, and mixed shrub groupings long before the flowers arrive. Because it tolerates heat, drought once established, and a range of soil conditions, it is especially practical for tough sites that still need to look polished. This is a strong choice for gardeners who want a durable native shrub with season-long interest and a reliable focal point in smaller spaces.

Distinctive Features

This deciduous shrub forms a compact, mounded habit with vibrant amber to honey-colored foliage that stands out clearly from spring through fall. In late spring, clusters of bright yellow trumpet-shaped flowers appear at the stem tips and add another layer of seasonal color while attracting pollinators. Compared to the straight species, this selection is especially valued for its glowing foliage color and more refined garden presence. It may slowly spread by underground stems over time, which helps it fill space naturally without reading as aggressive in most landscape settings.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Plant in full sun to part shade for the best flowering and strongest foliage color.
  • Soil: Provide average, well-drained soil, though it adapts to sandy, loamy, and clay soils if drainage is reasonable.
  • Water: Water regularly during establishment, then reduce to moderate or low supplemental watering once established.
  • Zones: Hardy in USDA Zones 3 to 8.
  • Mature Size: Reaches about 2 to 3 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, sometimes somewhat larger over time.
  • Habit: Grows in a compact, mounded to rounded form with dense branching.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use it as a focal point in a border or foundation bed where the bright foliage can lighten darker planting combinations.
  • Foundation Plantings: Place it in foundation beds where its compact size and glowing foliage can create a finished look without becoming too bulky.
  • Borders: Plant it in mixed shrub and perennial borders for season-long foliage contrast and late spring flower color.
  • Mass Planting: Group several together where a drift of amber foliage can brighten the landscape.
  • Pollinator Gardens: Include it in pollinator-friendly plantings where the yellow flowers can support butterflies and other beneficial insects.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during establishment, then water during prolonged dry periods if needed.
  • Pruning: Prune immediately after flowering if shaping is needed, since flowers are produced on old wood.
  • Renewal Care: Remove a few of the oldest stems at the base over time if the plant needs rejuvenation.
  • Placement: Use it in sunny to partly shaded sites where the warm foliage color can stay bright and readable through the season.
  • Drainage: Avoid constantly soggy sites, because good drainage supports the strongest long-term performance.

Why Choose Firefly Bush Honeysuckle?

  • Colorful Foliage: Its amber and honey-toned leaves bring bright contrast from spring through fall.
  • Late Spring Flowers: Bright yellow blooms add another season of color and pollinator value.
  • Compact Habit: Its manageable size makes it easy to use in foundation beds, borders, and smaller landscapes.
  • Tough Performance: Once established, it tolerates heat, drought, and a range of garden conditions.
  • Native Shrub Value: As a selection of a North American native species, it fits naturally into many regional planting styles.
  • Deer Resistance: It is generally considered deer resistant, which adds practical value in many landscapes.

Firefly Bush Honeysuckle is an easy way to add bright foliage, yellow bloom, and durable structure to the landscape without relying on a fussy shrub. Its compact habit helps it fit comfortably into smaller spaces, while the warm leaves keep it visually useful for most of the growing season. With sun to part shade and well-drained soil, it offers dependable performance year after year. It is a practical shrub for adding contrast, pollinator value, and a reliable focal point to the garden.

Slightly Interesting
Format: Kindle
First, I think Belle is a great writer. There was a lot of effort put into making this a very readable book. I also think that what happened to her really was terrible. Her husband 100% was wrong in what he did to her with the affair and his disappearance. Ultimately, her marriage prior to the betrayal seemed very superficial. She acknowledges that she chose the comforts of wealth over a close relationship. She had a part time husband/father and honestly it's not surprising that he left. He was barely there to begin. Her absolute terror in imagining that she would drop down from the top 0.1% down to around the top 1% was not the compelling tragedy that she seems to think it is. Her bemoaning of the loss of ultra luxuries tended to diminish the emotional toll of her plight. The book is laced through with the eventual end that her husband is going to take his assets and half of hers, but it never happens. I think she wants to relate the uncertainty and fear that she had, but it comes off as fake panic. In the end, it's a sad story, but it was very predictable. It's a story about a woman who outsourced her responsibilities, who doesn't know how to operate without extreme wealth, and who shudders at the prospect of having to work a job. It was a short book, but 3 times longer than necessary.

Raw and Honest
Format: Hardcover
I admit I purchased this book because of all the hype, but also because I have been, since childhood, intrigued by her various family legacies (Burden, Vanderbilt, Cushing, Fairbanks), and their alliances (Whitney, Astor, Roosevelt, etc). I was not sure what to expect, but I am grateful I read this book. Being a queer man I probably am not the core audience for this book, I can attest it is still a great read. Ms. Burden is amazingly candid and honest in a way I don't think most people in her situation would be. I can already tell that there will probably be countless reviews about how privileged her life was even during and after her divorce, and how unrelatable this book is for many people, but then you are missing something. If you want to judge Ms. Burden for things she had no control over then you should examine your own life. My hat off to the author for being so open about such private matters in her life, and also for doing a great job shielding her children in life and in the book. I hope it is true that there is a movie/series being made that will star Gwyneth Paltrow. I love Gwyneth, and if the author won't play herself I think Gwyneth is an amazing choice for her poise, acting ability, and class. Can't recommend this enough! OH, I am curious to know if anyone who read this book read Wendy Burden's memoir Dead End Gene Pool. I LOVE that book, but it is so very very different, and I am curious to know if Wendy and Amanda get along irl.

Favorite childhood book
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
The Rainbow Fish was my absolute favorite book when I was little, so I had to get it for my kids too. The sparkly scales are still just as magical as I remembered and honestly make the whole book feel special. The story is sweet, the illustrations are beautiful, and it’s one of those classic children’s books that actually sticks with you growing up. Reading it now feels really nostalgic for me, and my kids love looking at all the shiny pages. Such a cute book to have in your collection.
