Celastraceae
Euonymus alatus ‘Little Moses’ is a dwarf ornamental shrub highly valued for its extremely compact habit and spectacular autumn coloration. This selection is characterized by its slow growth and dense, rounded silhouette, making it perfectly suited for small gardens, borders, foreground plantings, and foundation plantings. Its dark green deciduous foliage transforms in autumn into an intense and uniform scarlet red, offering a remarkable visual impact despite its small size. In winter, its branches, adorned with discreet corky wings, add subtle structural interest after leaf drop. Very hardy and easy to maintain, Euonymus alatus ‘Little Moses’ is well adapted to Quebec conditions and is an excellent choice for adding color, structure, and elegance to confined spaces.
