Burning bush is a deciduous shrub that has been very popular in North American landscaping—perhaps too popular. The dense, multi-stemmed, rounded shrub gets its common name from the transformation of its medium-green elliptical leaves into brilliant red fall foliage; the red-orange berries that arrive in the fall provide additional decorative value. Tiny yellow-green flowers bloom on the plant in the late spring, though they aren’t very showy. Best planted in the fall or spring from a container-grown nursery plant, burning bush grows at a moderate pace, adding about a foot of growth per year. If properly maintained, it will survive for decades.
SUN: Plant burning bush in an area that gets full sunlight, gifting the plant with rays for at least six to eight hours a day. In warmer climates, the bush can stand a partially shady spot, especially during the hotter afternoon hours.
SOIL: While it can adapt to most soil types (except for soggy soil with poor drainage), burning bush prefers average soil with a moderate moisture level. It also favors a slightly acidic soil pH but will grow in alkaline or neutral soil, as well.
WATER: Burning bush is a drought-tolerant plant once established and generally has low-to-moderate watering needs. When you do water a burning bush, aim your water source at ground level instead of overhead.
WHEN TO PLANT: Best planted in the fall or spring from a container-grown nursery plant.
PLANTING SUGGESTIONS: Plan to feed a young bush three to four times throughout its growing season, from mid-spring to midsummer. But a mature plant is best-denied fertilizer, as it only serves to increase the speed with which it spreads.
