Euonymus alatus 'Compactus'
Euonymus alatus ‘Compactus’ is a compact and highly structured ornamental shrub, renowned for its spectacular fall coloration and naturally dense habit. This selection forms a rounded silhouette, smaller and more controlled than the species type, making it ideal for beds, low hedges, and specimen plantings in residential gardens. Its deciduous dark green foliage transforms in autumn into an intense and uniform scarlet red, creating a striking focal point in the landscape. In winter, its branches with decorative corky wings add subtle structural interest after the leaves fall. Very hardy and easy to cultivate, Euonymus alatus ‘Compactus’ adapts well to Quebec conditions and offers an excellent balance between controlled size, visual impact, and low maintenance.
