Hayloft Euonymus Europaeus Red Cascade - Spindle Tree 1 X 9Cm Pot

Commonly known as The Spindle Tree, because the wood was used to make spindles, Euonymus europaeus ‘Red Cascade’ is a stunning deciduous shrub prized for its spectacular autumn display. As the days start to get shorter, the dark green leaves start to change colour boasting shades of blazing scarlet. A standout shrub for wildlife friendly gardens, the fiery foliage display is accompanied by abundant, vivid pink fruits that split open to reveal striking orange seeds. Growing up to 3m in height and spreading to 2.5m ‘Red Cascade’ thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. It is highly versatile, suitable for hedges, mixed borders, or woodland gardens, where it adds seasonal interest. The small, greenish-white flowers in spring are subtle but attract pollinators. This low-maintenance shrub is drought-tolerant once established and is highly valued for wildlife, as bees and other pollinators love the flowers while birds are drawn to its seeds.
