Euonymus alatus

Shrubs from China and Japan don’t generally do well here at Lambley. The hot dry winds of summer are too much for them. The deciduous Euonymus alatus is an exception. I planted one about ten years ago and it has never had a burnt leaf and always puts on a really good autumn display with foliage turning pink and crimson during late April and early May. This form is more graceful than the more commonly found E. alatus ‘Compactus’. 200cm x 200cm.
