Burning Bush is an aromatic plant with glossy dark green leaves grown from flower seeds. Spider-like fragrant flowers of carmine-rose appear during the summer months. This perennial plant is commonly called Burning Bush because, in arid weather, a flammable oil exudes from the leaves and seed pods. If a flame is placed near the Burning Bush Dictamnus plant, it will sometimes ignite without damaging the plant.

Some growers opt to plant them in the fall (if the temperatures permit), allowing the seeds to stratify in the soil during the winter frost. Alternatively, seeds can be placed in a bag in a warm, moist environment for two weeks to a month. Afterward, they should be transferred to the refrigerator for a cold stratification period of four to six weeks before planting in your garden after danger of frost.
