The Burning Bush gives you an amazing show in the fall months with it's incredible, bright red foliage. If you like unique plants with bright color, this is the shrub for you. Looks amazing when you plant in groups of three.

Flame red is the best seller for fall color. The fiery autumn foliage of the Burning Bush makes it an excellent landscape plant… and it really draws attention when planted in rows.

In summer, the cooling blue-green colored leaves are welcoming and lush. Planted as a hedge, they can create a river of soothing green in warm weather and a fabulous trail of fire for autumn excitement.

You’ll look forward to fall just to enjoy the amazing color. You'll see a buzz of excitement from your neighbors when they comment on how beautiful your yard looks with these vibrant shrubs.

The Burning Bush has fantastic drought tolerance once established, and easily adapts to a variety of soils and climate conditions.

Homeowners in almost any area of the country can have great success in growing the burning bush in their yard.

Burning Bush grows rather quickly and makes a beautiful statement in almost any yard. Grows best in part shade to full sun. For that burst of flame in fall, be sure to plant the shrubs where they get full sun for most of the day. They love living in the shade, but the leaves will not be able to turn red without a massive dose of sunshine on a daily basis.

Great planted in masses and do well in geometric planting designs such as hedges and flower garden windbreaks.

Order your own row of Burning Bushes and enjoy the bright scarlet color in the fall!

Your Burning Bush can be planted any time of year!

It's Easy to Plant your Burning Bush
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Burning Bush. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Burning Bush gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Burning Bush again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

I love red bush and this is the reddest bush I could find! if you like red bush you will really get into this one

Mark Green

I live in north Texas outside of Dallas. I purchased eight of these bushes and subsequently planted them in March through early April of 2010. The leaves all fell off during the fall of that year before I had the opportunity to view their beautiful color. I figured the plants were simply adjusting and did not think much of it. I continued fertilizing with miracle grow and watering. In 2011, we had one of the hottest and driest summers on record. Again, the leaves dropped off before changing over to their signature flame red color. Most of the branches on this deciduous shrub have remained green. My brother-in-law suspects that I may have accidentally planted the bushes too deeply, which may cause root rot. Since they are not doing so well at this location, I will probably relocate them to a sunnier place which is more visible. If anyone has any comments on my experience, I would love to hear them, so that I can enjoy these bushes that I have worked hard to keep.
