Interesting Notes about Burning Bush:

The Burning Bush has a nice bushy form and will reach its full potential in either sun or partial shade.  It prefers full sun for the best red fall color.  If grown in too much shade the fall color development is affected where the result is a faded shade of red or sometimes even pink.
