Brilliant, Fiery Burning Bush for Dazzling Fall Color and Landscape Contrast
Burning Bush is a striking ornamental shrub known for its unmatched fall color-a vivid, electric red that lights up the landscape like a flame. Through spring and summer, it maintains a clean, rounded form with rich green foliage, making its autumn transformation even more dramatic. For more than 65 years, TN Nursery has cultivated high-quality shrubs that perform reliably in both residential and commercial landscapes. Since 1959, our plant material has appeared in projects at Arlington National Cemetery and The Washington Monument, and our expertise has been featured across Discovery and History network programming. This longevity enhances our authority and ensures every Burning Bush we grow is resilient, vibrant, and ready to thrive.
Why Burning Bush Adds Instant Impact to Gardens
Popular for its reliability and vibrant seasonal performance, Burning Bush is a densely branching, naturally balanced shrub that is easy to maintain in borders, foundations, driveways and in mass plantings. As the seasons turn, the leaves turn from a soft green to a vivid red and may remain so for several weeks. TN Nursery sources Burning Bush plants that have well-developed root systems and the best leaf quality to ensure a bright fall season for your landscape. Ideal as a single accent plant or massed together for a big sweep of colour, Burning Bush can invigorate and brighten any area of the garden.
A Low-Maintenance Shrub With Yearlong Landscape Value
Not only is Burning Bush spectacular for its dramatic fall color, but it is also appealing during the growing season. Its tidy form requires little pruning and it will grow in different soil types. Burning Bush is an easy care plant and can survive in difficult conditions. Burning Bush pairs well with other plants in mixed beds such as hydrangea, coneflower, ornamental grasses and evergreen varieties, providing contrast and depth. The shrub is also a good plant for urban areas. It tolerates heat, wind and some drought once established. The berries are a nice addition for seasonal interest and limited food for wildlife.
