Euonymus Alatus Compactus (Compact Winged Spindle Tree)

There is nothing more stunning than the vibrant brilliant foliage in late autumn of the Euonymus Alatus Compactus (Compact Winged Spindle Tree), one of the best autumn foliage shrubs.

Euonymus Alatus Compactus (commonly known as Compact Winged Spindle Tree and also the burning bush) is a deciduous small shrub with simply stunning pinky-red fiery autumn foliage that will, add a fabulous blast of colour to your autumnal garden. This 'Compactus' variety is a smaller and neater version than the regular Euonymus Alatus. Therefore in terms of size, Euonymus Alatus Compactus is a compact shrub as the name implies with a spreading growth habit and is an ideal small shrub for urban gardens. It has small green flowers, followed by attractive purple fruit.

Euonymus Alatus Compactus grows best in full sun but will also grow in partial shade and does well in most soils.

This plant carries the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
