About the Burning
Bush-Bursting Heart :
The Bursting Heart Burning bush, Euonymus
americana 'Bursting Heart', is a unique shrub. In
the spring and summer this shrub quietly takes the
back seat to other seasonal color. However, in early
fall, it draws curious looks with its unique display
of fruit. Bumpy, raspberry-red pods hang on the ends
of stems and split open to reveal small, smooth, red
seeds.
If you'll plant this shrub with some room to
grow, it will delight you with its fullness and
profusion of fall "hearts." The lower limbs can be
removed up to 2' or so and ground covers (foam
flower, green and gold, ginger, etc.) planted to
carpet the ground beneath. Grows 4-6'. Native.
