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.

Second Chance Romance
Format: Kindle
Minor spoilers in this one, but I feel like they aren’t really spoilers.. it’s a second chance romance soo, but wanted to give the opportunity for some to not read the review if minor spoilers are an issue! Thank you to Erica Goodwin for the ARC! This is my first physical ARC and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to read Take Two before its release! I love reading about women in entertainment, so I was really excited to read this. I will say that it is usually a hit or miss for me when reading a second chance romance. Most of the time, I feel like the couple broke up for a reason. I was very interested in what happened between Gemma and Caitlin when they broke up. This leads me to Caitlin.I liked her in the beginning. But I’m not going to lie, the more I learned about her and how she treated Gemma (yes, they were in high school, but still), it made it really hard for me to like her. I understand being terrified of discovering feelings for a girl, especially at the age of 15/16ish. So while I hate what happened, it makes sense. But it’s a different story when you are in college and doing the same thing that you ALREADY DID TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND!! I adored Gemma, so I believe that made my dislike of Caitlin more. I don’t think she is a bad person, but I just wish she would be more mindful of how her actions affect others. This is lack of mindfulness is shown with the Michelle situation as well. Gemma is an angel. I loved that she was unapologetically an out lesbian in high school. It was refreshing to see that she didn’t care about what others thought and didn’t shy away from showing affection to her girlfriend. I loved the friendships in this book as well. Maddie did make Caitlin a little more bearable by calling her out on her crap. That’s a real friend right there. Someone who doesn’t just placate their friends is friend everyone needs. Hayley and Gemma’s friendship was adorable as well. I definitely resonated with Hayley and her protectiveness of Gemma. It’s hard to see your friend so heartbroken and I understand her wanting to make sure her best friend isn’t hurt like that again. I would love to read a romance that featured Hayley or Maddie. The besties deserve their own romance novel. I did start to like Caitlin towards the end, but I did wish that we saw more of them together as adults, especially before what happened in the last couple of chapters. I felt like it was too soon to take that step without actually seeing if Caitlin’s actions would match her words this time. I need to see her evolve more. As I stated earlier, the writing is amazing, that’s not in question. I just had a hard time liking Caitlin. I’d give the book 3.75- 4 stars, I can’t decide, so I will round it up to 4 stars. Take Two is a real, raw and messy second chance romance. I can’t wait to read more in the NYC series (I think I know who the next couple will be) and also read the author’s other standalone book!

Loved this book
Format: Kindle
This book is so full of love, passion and anguish. The MC are so well developed that you feel what they are going through every step of the way. You get so invested in wanting them to have a happy ending but it doesn't appear it will happen. I highly recommend this book.

beautiful sapphic second chance
Format: Kindle
I could not put this book down, I devoured it in one day! A heartfelt sapphic romance that pulled you in from the start. Gemma and Caitlin’s dual POVs and dual timelines was done effortlessly. Seeing the struggles of a high school romance was so relatable. Then flash forward to the present when they were forced into each other’s lives after nine years because they were cast in the same movie! The cross between past, present, and the movie being filmed was full of angst, longing, regret, and hit me on every emotional level. I could not recommend this book more!

Missed the Mark *Spoilers*
Format: Kindle
I was surprised by the author’s bio because at times it felt like this book was written by an adolescent imagining what filming a movie would be like. I really enjoyed certain parts of the book, especially the flashbacks to HS, the flirtatious note-writing and the botched Spanish terms of endearment. But the main feeling I had reading it was whiplash, in terms of all the back-and-forth between the MCs. Even at almost 30 years old, they both felt emotionally immature. **Spoilers Ahead** It was odd to me that when they finally confronted their past, it was in terms of the summer after their sophomore year of HS, rather than the big breakup when they were in college. Skipping ahead, the Paris ending felt very abrupt and out of character. I also felt that certain side characters (Troy, Darbie, Emily, etc.) were very two-dimensional and discarded easily where it would’ve been interesting to see their reactions to the MCs’ relationship. I can see where the author laid the groundwork for a good series, it definitely has potential. This book just missed the mark for me.
