The Alatus variety is commonly known as burning bush because of its intense vibrant red foliage in Autumn but it also has lush green leaves from Spring.

As well as it’s colourful leaves, small pale green flowers are produced followed by attractive purple-red fruits. This large bushy shrub will grow to around 2.5 meters in height and width which makes it ideal for garden beds and borders.
