Description

Kochia, also known as Burning Bush or Summer Cypress, is a unique ornamental plant famous for its soft green foliage that turns vibrant red as the season progresses. Its naturally rounded, bushy shape makes it perfect for garden borders and landscape decoration.

This plant is very easy to grow and thrives in warm climates, making it ideal for spring and summer gardening in Pakistan. It grows well in both pots and direct soil (kiyari) and requires minimal maintenance.

You can grow Kochia in containers (10–12 inch pots) or directly in garden beds. Maintain a spacing of 30–45 cm between plants to allow them to develop their full bushy shape.

Kochia is widely used for garden borders, pathways, and decorative landscaping, giving a neat and modern look to outdoor spaces.
