Burning Bush Euonymus Shrubs make an excellent addition to many landscapes as a sensational accent hedge. This dwarf ornamental shrub’s intense crimson-red fall color is sure to stand out and is relatively easy to care for. Euonymus alatus is compact, and its spring and summer foliage is a rich green hue. Also known as Winged Euonymous, this shrub has tiny flowers that bloom into dangling red berries during the late spring to early summer months. Birds love these berries, and their seeds naturally plant new shrubs when dropped in rich soil. The berries, bark, leaves, and seeds of the Burning Bush shrub are suspected to be poisonous due to their relation to other toxic species. Avoid pets and small children who may be tempted to taste its berries. Burning Bush keeps its intense red fall foliage when planted in full sun and slightly acidic soil. This multi-stemmed, angular branching shrub is considered an invasive species, so keep that in mind when planting in your landscape.
