Kochia scoparia red
Burning Bush - Fireweed
Description
Kochia scoparia red, often called burning bush, is an annual plant that provides vibrant color and unique texture to the landscape. It has a dense, rounded shape, with slender, upright stems covered in small, soft leaves that give it a delicate, feathery appearance. In summer, the foliage is a bright green, but as the season progresses, it transforms into a brilliant red, orange, or burgundy, creating a striking contrast. This plant is extremely drought-tolerant and thrives in full sun. It adapts to various soil types, including those with poor fertility, but good drainage is important. Regular watering during dry periods is crucial, particularly when the plant is young. To maintain its compact form, trim or shear the plant to the desired shape.
