Burning Bush – Euonymus alatus 20 Seeds | Hardy Deciduous Shrub | Brilliant Red Fall Color Winged Euonymus | Hedge & Bonsai Friendly | Cold Hardy

Grow your own Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus) — a dense, adaptable shrub famous for its spectacular bright red fall foliage. One of the most dependable shrubs for autumn color, this plant transforms landscapes with fiery brilliance each year.

This deciduous shrub develops a rounded, multi-branched form with distinctive corky “wings” along its stems, adding unique winter interest after the leaves drop. In late spring, small yellow-green flowers appear, followed by ornamental capsules that split open to reveal bright orange-red seeds that attract birds.

Burning Bush is extremely hardy and adaptable, tolerating cold, heat, wind, and a wide range of soil conditions (except poorly drained soils). It responds well to pruning and shearing, making it ideal for formal hedges, borders, foundations, woodland gardens, and even bonsai projects.
