This winged euonymus belongs to deciduous shrubs and is truly an eye-catcher in every garden. Its leaves are compound like on ash. Young leaves are bright, grass green, and as the first colder days of October come, they change the colour to highly ornamental scarlet red. Even when they fall off, the shrub remains attractive with the bark on the bare branches which have corky wings along the stems. The fruits are small capsules which turn orange-red just as the leaves change their colour in the autumn.

It spreads to sides, mature unpruned shrubs can be 2.5m wide after 20-30 years. Tolerates any conditions apart from wet. Hardy to about -34°C (USDA zone 4).
