Dictamnus albus 'Albiflorus', known as White Gas Plant or Burning Bush, is a perennial herbaceous marvel perfect for adding an air of mystique to your garden. This striking cultivar stands out with its pure white, star-shaped flowers, gathered in elegant pyramidal spikes that bloom from late spring into early summer, filling the air with a captivating fragrance. Growing up to 2.5-3 feet tall and spreading 1.5-2 feet wide, 'Albiflorus' is renowned not only for its visual appeal but also for its robust, aromatic foliage. The glossy, pinnate leaves exude a delightful citrus scent when touched or crushed, enhancing the sensory experience of your outdoor spaces.

One of the most intriguing features of 'Albiflorus' is its flammable volatile oils, earning it the nickname "burning bush". On a still, warm evening, these oils can ignite in a harmless flash, creating a fleeting yet mesmerizing display of nature’s wonder. This plant thrives in full sun to part shade, favoring moist yet well-drained soils, and is a true survivor once well-established, tolerating drought conditions and resisting both deer and rabbits. Perfect as a specimen or stunning group in borders or cottage gardens, it pairs beautifully with companions like daylilies, peonies, and irises, making it a versatile and low-maintenance addition to any landscape. Whether you're drawn to its fragrant blooms or fascinated by its pyrotechnic properties, Dictamnus albus 'Albiflorus' promises to be a delightful centerpiece in your garden, enchanting both you and visiting butterflies alike.
