Care

Burning Bush thrives in well-drained soil and requires regular watering during dry spells. It should be pruned in late winter or early spring to maintain its shape. Although it is generally pest-resistant, it's important to watch for signs of disease. Fertilize in early spring to promote vibrant fall color.

Plant Reproduction

Burning Bush spreads through seeds dispersed by birds and animals.

Plant bare-root shrubs during the more excellent spring or fall months, from November through April. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root system and slightly more profound than its height. Position the shrub so that the top of the roots is level with the ground, and put back the soil dug over the roots. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, ensuring the mulch does not touch the shrub's stem. Water regularly, especially during the first year, to establish strong roots. Prune shrubs as needed to promote healthy growth. In the spring, fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer suited to the specific needs of the shrub.
