Euonymus alatus 'Hayman'
Unforgettable Fire® burning bush
Fine branching and small leaves give this rounded burning bush a denser texture than many older selections. Green summer foliage turns vivid red in fall, especially in full sun. Developed in Louisville, it works as an autumn accent in larger landscape beds.
