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.
Is red Kochia different from green Kochia?
No, red and green Kochia are the same plant. The color changes from green to red as temperatures cool in late summer or fall.
