Euonymus alatus 'Compactus'

(Dwarf Winged Spindle or Burning Bush) A popular dwarf cultivar, Euonymus alatus 'Compactus' has cool green summer leaves and shimmering, bright red autumn colour. The corky wings on the stems are still evident, but less prominent than those on a standard Euonymus alatus.
