Euonymus alatus compactus, known variously as winged spindle, winged Euonymus, or burning bush, is a species of lowering plant, native to japan, china, and Korea. It will add amazing fiery red foliage to your garden in the fall and a cooling blue-green in the summer. It is dense, flat-topped, and deciduous with a horizontal branching habit. It is great planted in masses, is a sensational accent, and does well in geometric planting designs, such as hedges and flower garden windbreaks. For maximum effect, plant with larger conifers or evergreens. The burning bush is an object described by the book of exodus as being located on mount phoebus. According to the narrative, the bush was on fire, but was not consumed by the flames, hence the name.
