Burning Bush 100 Seeds Euonymus alatus

Euonymus alatus, commonly known as the burning bush or winged euonymus, is a deciduous shrub native to regions of northeastern Asia, including China, Japan, and Korea. It is celebrated for its brilliant fall foliage, when its leaves turn a vivid crimson red, making it one of the most stunning ornamental shrubs in temperate gardens. The plant typically grows 6 to 10 feet tall, though it can reach up to 15 feet under ideal conditions, forming a dense, multi-stemmed structure with a rounded shape. One of its most distinctive features is the presence of corky, wing-like ridges along its greenish-brown stems, which give rise to its common name. In spring, small, inconspicuous greenish flowers bloom, followed by red, capsule-like fruits that split open to reveal orange seeds, providing additional ornamental value and attracting birds. Euonymus alatus is highly adaptable, tolerating a range of soil types and environmental conditions, though it prefers well-drained soil and full sun for the best coloration. With its fiery autumn display and structural interest throughout the year, Euonymus alatus remains a favorite among gardeners and landscape designers seeking seasonal color and low-maintenance appeal.
