How To Plant Dwarf Burning Bush
Dwarf Burning Bush love to bask in the sun and catch those rays—for at least 6 hours. For more vibrant colors, planting in full sun is recommended, too much shade can transform those leaves to a faded, pinkish hue in the fall. Burning Bushes are highly adaptable to a wide variety of soil types and can thrive in anything from sand to clay. It is preferred that soil is slightly moist and well-drained.
How To Water
For the first few months after planting your Burning Bush, water quite often. Then, you can reduce it to about the equivalent of one inch of rainfall per week. Once a Burning Bush is established they can be considered drought-tolerant.
