RE: Euonymus - not all colour in your garden comes from flowers !

in #euonymus6 years ago

Euonymus Shrubs are easy to grow and priovide colour all year long, the Burnung Bush, Euonymus alatus is spectacular during Autumn
We offer different types of Euonymus: the Euonymus alatus which originates from Japan and the Euonymus fortuneii varieties are from Korea.

The Euonymus alatus is also known as Cardinals Hat due to the shape of the seedpod in bright orange red. In autumn the foliage of the Euonymus alatus turns purple first and than becomes bright red this is quite a spectacle to see. Hence its change in colour; the shrubs is also known as Burning Bush. The Euonymus fortuneii varieties are dwarf in growth, evergreen and variegated, very versatile for the border, up against a wall, trimmed to be a ground cover or as a freestanding shrub.

This remarkable and slow-growing shrub from China and Japan is relatively inconspicuous in summer, but suddenly becomes a highlight in autumn when the foliage catches fire with brilliant crimson tints. These are most vivid in full sun, although it grows reasonably well in shade. The summer flowers are insignificant, but they are followed by attractive purple and red fruits which split open to form four winged lobes with a bright orange seed at the centre. 'Compactus' is a smaller and denser variety, and will make a fine informal hedge.
