Little Moses™ Burning Bush

The Little Moses™ Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus 'Odom') may seem like an ordinary low lying bush, however, it is anything but. Planting one of these in your garden ensures a spectacular show that you won't want to miss come fall.

This deciduous shrub fills out each spring with densely packed light green leaves. It'll stay that attractive throughout the summer, but the real show starts in the fall!

The Little Moses Burning Bush is a miniature version of the original winged euonymus, which is often simply referred to as burning bushes. It was cultivated in 2002 with the hope that it would have a denser, more compact form.

This bush will produce little berries later in the season. While they aren't edible to humans, the pretty neighborhood birds will stop by to enjoy. If you're interested in adding birdwatching to your list of hobbies, planting a Little Moses Burning Bush is a great place to start!

How to Use Little Moses Burning Bush in the Landscape

The light and unobtrusive green the Little Moses dons during the spring and summer makes it the perfect border specimen or accent plant.

Perennial gardens are gorgeous and deserve to be bordered with a plant that won't cover its beauty by growing tall and unruly. Little Moses, being the dwarf version of its larger counterpart, is just the small bush for the job!

It'll also create a wonderful backdrop for your flowering perennials and then take center stage once they're done for the year. As your neighbor's gardens are all winding down for the year, yours will still be in full swing showing off vibrant colors!

Perhaps you're looking to spruce up the sides of your house. Little Moses makes a wonderful foundation plant with its green foliage and burst of autumn color.

Little Moses is sure to command attention wherever you place it. Why not add one to either side of your driveway or entryway? Talk about making a showstopping first impression!

If one of these is pretty on its own, think of the impact Little Moses would have if added to landscapes as a mass planting? Just think of how grand a brisk fall stroll through a garden filled with these compact burning bushes would be!

Adding one or two of these shrubs to the base of your mailbox is a surefire way to make a stunning statement and add loads of curb appeal! Each fall, it'll make those who pass by gasp in awe and wonder how they can get their own! We'll leave it up to you whether you divulge your secret or not!

#ProPlantTips for Care

You'll love how easy this Little Moses Burning Bush is to take care of almost as much as you'll love the color! Gone are the days of fussing over bushes in order to be rewarded with their beauty.

Simply plant it somewhere with well drained soil and in full sun or partial sun. It is rather tolerant of shade, but be careful, too much shade can diminish its radiant red color come fall.

When planting, remember that full sun means you'll want to water consistently and thoroughly. One way you can make moisture less of an issue is by adding a layer of mulch around the base of your dwarf shrub.

While you probably won't need to because of it's naturally small stature, if you'd like you can prune your Little Moses to whatever shape you'd like in the very early spring, before it starts leafing out.

Whether you plant one of these as an accent or a few for a mass plant effect, the Little Moses Burning Bush will make a big impact in any garden. Order one from Nature Hills expert growers today!
