Gas plant, commonly known as “Burning Bush,” is native to many areas of Europe and throughout Asia. It reaches a height of about 4 feet with quite woody stems at the base. In the early summer, June and July, gas plant blooms with long spikes of white flowers set off by glossy green leaves. Once the flowers have faded, spectacular seedpods remain that are commonly used in dried floral arrangements.

The gas plant is hardy in USDA plant hardiness zones 3-8. Gas plant thrives in full sun in well-drained soil with high organic matter.
