Euonymus alatus 'Chicago Fire'
Euonymus alatus ‘Chicago Fire’ is a compact ornamental shrub highly valued for its exceptionally intense autumn coloring. Selected for its denser and more controlled habit than the species type, it forms a rounded and well-branched silhouette, ideal for borders, low hedges, and specimen planting. Its dark green deciduous foliage transforms in autumn into a flamboyant and uniform scarlet red, offering a striking spectacle that immediately catches the eye. In winter, its branches with corky wings retain a discreet but decorative structural interest. Robust and easy to maintain, Euonymus alatus ‘Chicago Fire’ adapts to various well-drained soils and is very hardy, making it an excellent choice for Quebec gardens seeking color, structure, and reliability across multiple seasons.
