One of the Most Colorful Shrubs Ever Developed

Why Dwarf Burning Bushes?

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, giving you interest month after month.

You'll look forward to the fall just to enjoy the amazing color of the Burning Bush. Especially since the Burning Bush has fantastic drought tolerance once established and easily adapts to a variety of soils and climate conditions. Plus, this Burning Bush is a dwarf variety, meaning it will stay smaller and more compact in your landscape.

So, the Dwarf Burning Bush is virtually carefree. No matter where you plant, it thrives. Simply ensure it gets a lot of sun and watch the show begin! The Burning Bush shines when it's planted in masses and does well in geometric planting designs, such as hedges and flower garden windbreaks.

Our Dwarf Burning Bush arrive

Our Dwarf Burning Bush arrive fast, and it was shipped very securely. I plant the bush and it seemed to be doing well until a deer nibbled on it but it's still alive and I'm very hopeful that it's going to be beautiful.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Michael! We're sorry a deer paid an unwanted visit but we're really glad the bush is still alive and hanging in there. Even deer resistant plants can fall victim to a hungry and persistent deer so you are definitely not alone in that experience. The good news is that Dwarf Burning Bush is a wonderfully tough and resilient plant and we think it has plenty of fight left in it. A simple wire barrier or deer repellent spray around it while it recovers would be a great way to protect it going forward. We hope it bounces back beautifully and treats you to that stunning fall color!
