What makes Dictamnus particularly fascinating is the aromatic oils it releases on warm days. These oils, when exposed to an open flame, can ignite briefly without harming the plant, a phenomenon that has earned it the nickname Burning Bush. This unique trait, along with its resistance to pests and diseases, makes Dictamnus a hardy and low-maintenance choice for gardeners.
Reaching a height of 60-100 cm, this long-lived perennial blooms in late spring to early summer, just as other plants are starting to fade. Its flowers are a favourite among pollinators, attracting bees and butterflies while adding life and movement to your garden.
We supply high-quality Dictamnus (Dittany) as bare root plants to ensure strong and healthy growth. For the best results, plant in well-drained soil in full sun or light shade. Choose a location where the plant can remain undisturbed, as it prefers not to be moved once established.
