The Burning Bush - Rudy Haag Euonymus alatus 'Rudy Haag' is a beautiful shrub.  In the fall this shrub can be spotted from far away due to it's vibrant red foliage.  It's one of the sights I enjoy and actually seek out during the fall season.  It's beauty stands out among grasses and other plants that are losing their color and turning brown.  I don't know why but it's always a surprise when I see one and brings a smile to my face.

There are different varieties of burning bush but Rudy Haag is one of the most popular. It's very easy to grow and it starts blooming in May with yellow green flowers.  It also fruits in the fall; another treat for your bird friends.  It's maintenance free, no pruning is necessary and this shrub grows to only 4-5 feet so it won't take up a lot of space.  It makes a great hedge, accent plant or with other plants in a hedge border.
