plant sale text: Heart's-a-bustin', also referred to as strawberry-bush, is best known for its showy red fruit clusters in late summer. However in the spring this woody plant also produces subtle but curious looking small, five-petaled greenish-yellow flowers. In the fall the oval to lanceolate-shaped leaves of Euonymous americanus turn an attractive dark red, while its green stems provide winter interest. This shrub will tolerate deep shade but produces more fruit in light shade. Deer like this species so protect your plants when planting them in an area frequented by deer.
