Burning Bush - Grove Dwarf
Grove Dwarf Burning Bush, Euonymus alatus 'Grove Compactus', is a compact Burning Bush that is versatile enough to use as a hedge, screen, en masse, or in borders; and pretty enough for a specimen plant. It is tolerant of shade, but should be planted in full sun for the best fall color. It is desired for the intense scarlet red fall coloring. This shrub has an interesting compact, mounded form that displays attractive rich green leaves from spring through summer. This deciduous plant loves full sun and is a moderate grower to 5 to 6 feet tall and 6-8 feet wide. ... more
Sweetshrub The Sweetshrub, Calycanthus floridus, or Carolina allspice is a dense, rounded deciduous shrub with a suckering habit which grows 6-9' tall with an equal or slightly greater spread. Lustrous, dark green (pale beneath), ovate to elliptic leaves to 6" long turn golden yellow in fall. Also commonly called sweetshrub and strawberry bush because of the reference to the fragrant blooms which have been described as combining hints of pineapple, strawberry and banana. Prune immediately after flowering to shape or maintain compactness. Use as a specimen near front door, patio or other living areas where the fragrant flower aroma may be enjoyed. It is utilized for shrub borders, foundations, and native plant areas.
