Description
The Euonymus alatus is a small bush with a spherical habit, whose fairly ordinary, tender green foliage ignites in autumn and takes on a dark red and flamboyant purple colour. It is named the Winged Euonymus, due to the cork wings that run along its branches.
Originating from Asia, this beautiful 2m (6.56 ft) tall slow-growing bush is perfectly hardy. It has a compact habit, with winged branches featuring 4 prominent and thin cork bands. The green leaves turn dark red and brilliant purple in autumn and measure 5 to 8cm (2 - 3.1in) in length. An insignificant flowering of small whitish-green flowers gives way to highly decorative reddish-purple berries measuring 1cm (0.4in) in diameter, containing a toxic orange seed.
Euonymus alatus is easy to grow. It thrives in any well-drained soil, in a sunny or partly shaded position. Pruning is unnecessary, it is better to pinch the young plants to encourage branching and only remove dead or diseased wood.
The Euonymus alatus can be used in shrub borders, creating contrasting effects with bronze fennel, barberry, or variegated holly. In hedges, it brightens up with its brilliant autumn colour, and in small groups, it draws attention and adds depth to the garden.
Tips: Water during dry spells to maintain beautiful foliage.

Planting and care
Euonymus alatus is best planted in autumn in any well-drained soil, in a sunny or lightly shaded location. Pruning is unnecessary, it is better to pinch the young plants to encourage branching and only remove dead or diseased wood. Apply fertilizer twice a year, in early spring and autumn. In case of drought, water to maintain beautiful foliage. When used as a hedge, space the plants 80cm (31.5in) apart. Plant multiple specimens for better fruiting.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
