Description

An unusual American cultivar, Euonymus alatus 'Timber Creek' has dark green leaves in spring / summer which turn startling shades of fiery red before falling in autumn. This form is even more hardy than the classic Euonymus alatus and seems to start colouring for autumn a little sooner in the year.

Corky wings on the stems give winter interest once the leaves have fallen.
