The most famous highlight of the burning bush is without doubt its foliage. While it is still green and rather inconspicuous during the summer, it turns from fiery red to pink or purple in the autumn, depending on the variety and location, making it a real eye-catcher. This also explains the common name of burning bush. The flowers of the burning bush, on the other hand, are rather inconspicuous. They are small, yellow-green and can be seen only between May and June. Instead, they develop striking red-orange capsule fruits that remain on the shrub throughout the winter and are readily eaten by birds as winter food. The fruits can also be extremely tempting to us humans – but you should not taste them, because they are poisonous to us. Kochia scoparia grass ( Kochia scoparia) is an attractive ornamental plant or a troublesome invasive species, depending on a number of factors, including your geographic location and your purpose for growing the plant. If this has piqued your curiosity, keep reading for more detailed kochia plant info. Kochia Plant InfoTo control burning bush in your own yard, you only need to pull out seedlings and sprouts by hand. It’s not a bad idea to remove and replace entire bushes too. Dig them out by the roots and dispose of the whole plant. GIVES NEW PLANTS THE BEST POSSIBLE START - Apply rootgrow by sprinking the appropriate amount into the planting hole, then place the plant in the hole ensuring the roots are touching the granules. Once applied your plants will begin to thrive better than before, improving plant establishment and subsequently bettering flowering and fruiting.

Prune off any damaged branches and remove all debris, to avoid attracting and harboring pests and pathogens. Other than that, maintenance needs are minimal. Use clean pruners to cut dead branches, so your shrub can refocus its efforts on feeding the healthy ones. Preventing development of seedheads is the first step in kochia control. The plant must be mowed frequently so it never grows beyond 18 to 26 inches (46-66 cm.). Fill a six-inch-deep, well-draining container about three-quarters full with a sterile potting medium.In early summer, when the first flush of new growth is well underway, you can take cuttings from the growing tips of an established shrub for rooting. Don’t apply herbicides unless you are sure the chemicals are registered for control of kochia scoparia grass. Complicating the matter even more is the fact that kochia is resistant to some herbicides, including 2,4-D. This is a good time to seek the advice of your local Agricultural Extension Agent. There are some great native alternatives to the invasive burning bush. Try these in eastern and Midwest states to get similar growth habits, fall color, and berries for wildlife: Set the pot in a spot with bright, indirect light and keep the potting mix moist until roots have developed (you will feel resistance when you tug on the stem). This can take several weeks.
