Burning Bush

Zone 4-8.
 
Offering dramatic color and texture through the seasons, Burning Bush is a longtime favorite among landscapers for planting along foundations, walkways and property boundaries. Its leaves are emerald green when they emerge in spring, providing an excellent backdrop for nearby perennials. 
 
With autumn's arrival, its foliage transforms into brilliant red and then turns pink-red as the season progresses. The leaves hang on until deep into fall, long after many other shrubs and trees become barren. Its ridged bark and winged twigs give this low-maintenance hedge amazing visual texture during winter. For best color, grow Burning Bush in full sun.
