Euonymus alatus 'Compactus'
Euonymus alatus 'Compactus' is a compact deciduous shrub valued for its neat, rounded habit and spectacular autumn colour. Throughout spring and summer it carries glossy, rich green foliage before transforming into vivid shades of scarlet red as autumn arrives.
The distinctive four-sided, corky-winged stems add strong architectural interest, particularly after the leaves have fallen. Ornamental purple fruits appear from autumn into winter, providing further seasonal interest and adding contrast against the coloured foliage and bare stems.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, 'Compactus' is ideal for smaller gardens, mixed borders and feature planting. It is adaptable to a range of soils and makes an excellent choice where strong autumn colour and year-round structure are required.
