Planting a Euonymus alatus
For optimal fall red foliage color, Euonymus alatus 'Fire Ball®' should be placed in full sun. If placed in areas with too much shade, the leaves may color up later in the fall and may even fall off before they turn bright red. This deciduous shrub can tolerate a variety of soils, except for extremely wet conditions, and is adaptable to various pH levels. It prefers medium moisture levels and can withstand heavy pruning, which is best done in late fall. To ensure maximum growth potential in the spring, fertilize in early spring with a slow release fertilizer specifically designed for trees and shrubs, following the label's recommended application rate. Avoid using exclamation points and subjective language.
