Burning Bush


When I was growing up, one of my father's favorite shrubs was the burning bush. So when we moved to Hope Valley in 2002, I made sure we had a burning bush at our place. Burning bush is an ancient shrub that dates back to ancient times and figures prominently in the bible.

Fall is when the plant really comes into its own. With its red leaves and orange/red berries, it is a showstopper in the fall garden. If you want to add this shrub to your landscape, know that it is very easy to grow, has few pests and likes sun, but will tolerate partial shade. With a plant this easy to grow and maintain, there's no reason not plant it. Just make sure that if you have space limitations to get a dwarf variety.

Burning Bush

In 2010 I posted about burning bush. If you look at that picture, you can see the burning bush is not as vibrant this year. However, that photo was taken at the end of October so my hope is that the red color will intesnsify as it gets cooler later in October.
