Euonymus Alatus Compactus - Burning Bush
Light:
Prefers full sun to part shade. For the best fall colour, choose a sunny location.
Water:
Keep soil evenly moist during the first growing season to help roots establish. Once mature, it is drought-tolerant and only needs watering during extended dry periods.
Fertilizer:
Feed in early spring with a balanced, slow-release shrub fertilizer. Avoid over-fertilizing — too much nitrogen can reduce that signature red foliage.
Soil:
Adaptable to most soil types, including clay and loam. Ensure good drainage for optimal growth.
Maintenance:
Minimal pruning required. Shape or reduce size in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Watch for deer or rabbit browsing.
