here is dwarf firebush. If you grow the reg. firebush you know it can get huge. When I got the compacta I was thinking: "oh goodie, no pruning". WRONG. The compacta grows to about 4 ft, so if you plant it in a small area, you will be pruning. I believe the compacta part refers to the size of the leaves. If you put the two plants side by side, there is decidedly a diff. in size.
