Euonymus alata 'Compacta'
Features and Where to use
Most people have heard of the Burning Bush, it has a great fall colour of a solid rich red starting in late September. In case you are excited by its possibilities based on ancient history, it is likely not the same variety of plant that God hid in when he spoke to Moses, just to be clear. A good spot for these guys is pretty much anywhere. In groups it is cool to get the most fall colour impact as you gaze out the window or drive in the driveway.
