Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus)
If you are worried that you are going to lose a lot of color from your yard come fall, we got you back. There are a number of fast-growing shrubs that are going to be the pop of color you desire in your fall garden, but the one we love most is the burning bush!
And no, it is not burning! However, this name perfectly encompasses the vibrant red color it has in the fall when it goes from its general vibrant green in the spring and summer to a firey red. The burning bush is the perfect fast-growing bush that is going to make your yard special all year round!
You should be careful with this type of bush as it can attract spider mites, and it is also a characteristic of stressed plants. They can also end up spreading across your yard if you are not careful enough with them.
The burning bush needs well-draining and moist soil to thrive. Yet, if you happen to go through a drought patch throughout the year, you do not have to worry about this type of fast-growing shrub, as it can fare well in dry soil for a while.
One thing to keep in mind is that the burning bush attracts the likes of songbirds and bees, so if you do not enjoy the chirping of birds or you or someone in your family is allergic to bees, it would be for the best to not plant too many of this variety in your yard.
If you want to make sure your garden is beautiful and easy to maintain, there is a chance that you will attract some unwanted visitors to your yard as well! If you have a problem with deer coming to eat your flowers and shrubs, make sure that you plant some of these plants here that will deter them from coming!
