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.
