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.

So Good So Far

It arrived damaged, but it still had a lot of leaves. The plant is a decent size and has been growing well for the past two weeks.

Highly recommended. Even tho FedEx

Highly recommended. Even tho FedEx severely damaged the box and some limbs were broken. But as far as the company, they are great to work with.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello Doug! We’re so glad you had a good experience with us, though we're sorry about the damage. Thanks for letting us know — we’ll be sure to pass this along to the carrier. If there’s anything we can do to help with the broken limbs, just let us know.
