Description
Dwarf Burning Bush is a bold, reliable shrub known for its tidy form and brilliant fall color. Through spring and summer, it offers clean, deep green foliage and a dense, mounded shape ideal for borders, hedges, or foundation plantings. As autumn arrives, its leaves turn a vibrant, fiery red—creating one of the most striking seasonal displays in any Michigan landscape.

Though called "dwarf," it still becomes a substantial shrub over time, making it one of the finest medium-sized deciduous shrubs for long-term structure and late-season interest.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun; tolerates part sun, though fall color is most vivid in full sun

  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch mulch layer to help retain moisture and insulate the root zone

  • Pruning: Prune in late winter to maintain size and shape or rejuvenate older plants

With its dense habit, brilliant autumn foliage, and versatility, Dwarf Burning Bush adds strong structure and unforgettable fall color to Michigan landscapes.
