Hearts-A-Bustin’ is a colorful plant with a colorful name that’s just plain fun to say.

It is a deciduous shrub, meaning it loses its leaves each winter, that usually grows 4 to 6 feet tall with multiple stems and an airy, spindly shape. Its leaves are lance-shaped with finely toothed edges positioned opposite each other on stems that stay green year-round. The leaves are bright green until autumn, when they turn orange-red.
