No doubt one of the most stunning plants around, Euonymus alatas is a dense, bushy, deciduous shrub with dark green, oval-shaped leaves that turn spectacular shades of red in autumn. The branchlets of this winged spindle often develop conspicuous corky wings, which are revealed after all the leaves are shed. Flowers are small and green, followed by purplish-red fruits, splitting to reveal orange seeds.
Aptly known as the 'Burning Bush', Euonymus alatus is a striking deciduous shrub which provides the garden with a blaze of dramatic crimson come autumn. Originating from Japan and China, it has dense and bushy in habit with large, wing-like leaves which taper to points of up to 7cm long, and also produces small pale green flowers and reddish-purple fruits. Flowers August-November. Height 150-200cm. Supplied in a 3 litre pot.
