Burning Bush - Chicago Fire The Chicago Fire Burning Bush Euonymus, Euonymus alatus 'Timber Creek', is an excellent large shrub for landscape use and is hardier than the species.

Chicago Fire Burning Bush Euonymus appears earlier than other cultivars with abundant, long-lasting red fruits that open to show small orange seeds. Its corky wings on stems add winter interest. Chicago Fire is useful as a screen, specimen, accent, or hedge. It is an adaptable shrub which tolerates a wide range of soils and full shade, but will not tolerate wet, poorly-drained soil. Since it has a strong, branching growth habit it can withstand heavy pruning. Zones 4-8. * Fire Red Leaves in the Fall!

This hydrangea shrub performs well in both full sun and full shade. It shouldn't be allowed to dry out so the soil needs to be kept moist.
