Something Red Hot for the Fall:
The Dwarf Burning Bush

The featured plant for fall is euonymus alatus compactus, commonly called dwarf burning bush. This shrub is easily identified in the fall – it’s the one that turns bright crimson.

Burning bush has true all-season interest. It has outstanding red fall color and corky wings on the twigs, which hold winter snow, outlining the branch structure. The shrub does best in full sun. It will grow in shade but the fall color won’t be as dramatic. The dwarf variety, probably the most used in home landscapes, grows to about 7 feet tall at maturity.

The shrub is excellent for hedges or screens or as a single specimen plant.
