Euonymus alatus ‘Compactus’ is a dense, deciduous shrub with a rounded and mounded habit and features brilliant scarlet fall color, inconspicuous greenish-yellow flowers in late spring and small purplish-red fruits that split open in autumn to reveal orange seeds. Uses include formal hedge, privacy screen, border, foundation planting. Requires moderate, regular watering. It handles occasional dry spells once established, but it is not drought resistant. Highly adaptable to most soil types (clay, loam, sand) as long as it is well-drained; it cannot tolerate waterlogged roots. Full sun yields the best fall color; it is highly shade tolerant, though its fall color turns more pinkish-purple in the shade. Cold hardy to -30°F.
