I like burning bushes also, (I have two) but they have been declared an invasive non native pest and are being discouraged now. Same with buddleia (butterfy bush). Keep an eye out and control the babies.

You know, I overheard something like that while I was buying them. The guy from Home Depot was talking about them to another customer. I assumed he was full of it. Guess not.
I figured if I just keep them pruned I can control them. Are the babies shoots from the ground or from seed?

Mostly from seed, but the whole bush will get a bit bigger by root spread.

Wow Curly, we never had any problems getting hummingbirds at our feeders. We just put out nectar feeders and they showed up. In flocks. There were so many, there were TOO many for their comfort level and they ended up having pitched aerial battles around the feeders all summer long. (Really cool to watch, if you can keep your eyes on them.)

We have them every year too. In fact I was a little late last year and the one male was flying around the window looking in, so I stopped what I was doing and put the feeder out and he went right to it. The males show up first and they are very territorial. We'll probably get some migrating through fairly soon, if it warms up some. They sure are fun to watch. Be patient Curly, once they find you they'll keep coming. Try planting some red petunias or red salvia near the feeder, that might help too.
