Kochia Plant (Bassia Scoparia / Live Burning Bush Outdoor Ornamental Plant)

Add Dynamic Texture & Vibrant Color to Your Garden with the Kochia Plant (Bassia Scoparia)

Bring lush elegance, neat symmetry, and spectacular seasonal color transitions to your outdoor spaces with Kochia (Bassia scoparia), commonly known as Burning Bush or Summer Cypress. Celebrated for its soft, fine-textured feathery foliage, Kochia naturally grows into a neat, symmetrical globe-shaped bush that adds instant architectural beauty to any setting.

During spring and summer, Kochia showcases a dense canopy of bright emerald-green leaves. As cooler weather sets in, the entire plant transitions into a breathtaking spectacle of deep magenta and fiery crimson-red. It is an ideal choice for sunny balcony planters, hedge borders, path linings, and decorative patio containers.

Key Features:

• Spectacular Color Transition: Bright emerald-green foliage during summer matures into a dramatic crimson-red in autumn.

• Natural Globe-Shaped Habit: Grows naturally into a dense, rounded bush without requiring complex pruning or shaping.

• Feathery Soft Foliage: Features delicate, needle-like leaves that add fine texture and lush volume to garden spaces.

• Sun-Loving & Resilient: Thrives in full natural sunlight, making it ideal for warm outdoor setups and sunny balconies.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Requires full sunlight (needs at least 5 to 6 hours of direct natural sunlight daily for rich foliage growth and color development).

• Watering: Water moderately when the topsoil feels dry. Ensure adequate soil moisture while avoiding waterlogging.

• Soil & Drainage: Plant in light, fertile, well-drained loamy or sandy soil with proper container drainage holes.

• Maintenance: Prune lightly if desired to maintain a specific height or shape, though it naturally maintains a tidy bush form.
