Dwarf Burning Bush

The Dwarf Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus ‘Compactus’) is a popular ornamental shrub renowned for its exceptional attributes, making it an excellent choice for landscapes and gardeners. One of its standout features is the intense, fiery red foliage it displays in the fall, creating a striking and memorable visual spectacle. This autumn coloration adds a burst of vibrancy to gardens.

As its name suggests, this variety stays relatively small, typically reaching heights of 6 to 10 feet. Its compact, rounded form makes it suitable for smaller gardens, as a hedge, or as a focal point. Dwarf Burning Bush is relatively low-maintenance and can adapt to a range of soil types and environmental conditions. It requires minimal pruning and upkeep. Beyond its fall color, it features interesting corky bark and small, inconspicuous spring flowers, providing year-round appeal.
