Kochia, also known as Burning Bush, is a unique ornamental plant with soft green foliage that turns vibrant red in autumn. It thrives in warm weather, grows well in 8-12 inch pots or garden beds, and prefers full sunlight. Native to Eurasia, it spread worldwide in the 19th century due to its striking seasonal color and drought tolerance.
