Description
Dictamnus Albus, also known as the Burning Bush or Dittany, is a captivating perennial that commands attention in any garden with its striking, tall spires of soft pink or white flowers delicately veined in purple. These blooms rise above dense, glossy green foliage, which remains vibrant throughout the season, making this plant as reliable as it is visually appealing.
What truly makes Dictamnus Albus special is its fascinating, almost mythical characteristic. On warm days, the plant releases aromatic oils that, under the right conditions, can ignite briefly when exposed to a flame. This rare phenomenon is purely ornamental but lends the plant its evocative nickname, "Burning Bush." Beyond this remarkable feature, Dictamnus Albus is a robust, low-maintenance perennial that adds both beauty and intrigue to any garden.
