Burningbush
Euonymus alatus
Burningbush is a hardy deciduous shrub celebrated for its spectacular scarlet-red fall foliage and distinctive corky-winged stems, thriving in a wide range of soils with partial to full sun exposure. It requires very little care once established, needing only occasional watering during dry spells and light pruning to maintain its desired shape. Note that Euonymus alatus is considered invasive in parts of the northeastern United States, so check local regulations before planting.
