A great new Euonymus we believe is a distinct improvement over E. alatus ‘Compactus’. The wings are much more pronounced and the habit is mounded and compact rather than upright. Best of all, our field test have shown this plant to have superior hardiness. Versatile enough to use as a hedge, screen, en masse, in borders and is pretty enough for a specimen plant. Grove Compact will tolerate shade, but should be planted in sun for the most dramatic fall color.
