Burning Bush live plant

This listing is for Burning Bush seedlings that are approximately 12-18 inches tall. They are shipped to you in a 4 inch plastic pot with soil and starter fertilizer. They will arrive you healthy and ready to plant!  Please keep I mind plants shipped from November-April will be either semi or fully dormant but will flush out in Spring or whenever the temperature is above 65 degrees for more than two weeks if you decide to start them off indoors.


The familiar burning bush is a dense, flat-topped, deciduous shrub with a rounded, horizontal branching habit. Reddish purple fruit grows beneath the simple, finely toothed, dark green leaves. Foliage turns an extremely showy bright red in autumn. A all time favorite!

Gardeners who want a burst of crimson color in fall should learn how to grow a burning bush (Euonymus alatus). The plant is from a large group of shrubs and small trees in the genus Euonymous. This large bush has a natural open form that shows well in borders, beds and even containers. Almost any site and soil condition is sufficient when growing burning bush plants. Care of burning bush is minimal too, which makes the plant an excellent choice for even novice gardeners.

The arching stems are decorated with clusters of finely pointed leaves that droop appealingly from the branch. The plant is also called winged Euonymous because of the ridges that arise on young burning bush growth. These disappear after the stems mature. The plant will get tiny flowers in May to June that turn into tiny dangling red berries. Birds eat the berries and inadvertently plant the seeds in your garden. In rich soils, even dropped berries may sprout and become new plants.
Burning bush grows well in USDA plant hardiness zones 4 to 9.

Burning bush plants may get 9 to 15 feet tall and are suitable for full sun to partial sun locations. Any soil type, including alkaline, may support burning bush growth.

These burning bush seedlings are 10-16 inches tall and shipped dormant from November-April (some will be semi-dormant) shipped in a 3.5 inch tall plastic pot with growing medium and starter fertilizer which will last for several months.
