DWARF WINGED BURNING BUSH Euonymus alatus ‘Compactus’
• A dense, rounded deciduous shrub prized for its neat, compact form and distinctive corky “wings” along the stems, which add winter texture and interest.
• Foliage emerges fresh green in spring and transforms into brilliant scarlet‑red in fall, making it one of the most striking autumn shrubs for prairie landscapes.
• Produces small, inconspicuous yellow‑green flowers in late spring, followed by reddish capsules that split to reveal orange seeds; ornamental but not considered edible for humans.
• Adaptable to a wide range of soils, including clay and alkaline conditions; tolerant of urban pollution and moderate drought once established.
• Full Sun to Part Shade
• Zone 3, 1.5–2 m Height × 1.5–2 m Width
