Euonymus alatus

In accordance with our normal way of working we are never satisfied with offering juts one variety of something so we have three forms of Euonymus alatus. All are easily grown , trouble-free deciduous shrubs with attractive, fine foliage that turns shocking pink and red in the autumn. The curiosity of them is the corky wings that grow along the length of the stems- hence the name, which means winged. The species grows slowly to two or more metres high and wide while ‘Compactus’ only reaches about half that size as does ‘Apterus’ which, even more curiously, lacks the wings ( so its name is Euonymus with wings ‘Without Wings’)
