Wildflower Wednesday, November 28, 2018
The fourth Wednesday of each month is Wildflower Wednesday!
The bright red seed capsules of Euonymus americanus burst open in the Autumn giving this shrub its common name: Hearts-a-burstin'. It grows to be 4 to 6 feet tall, and is native to the eastern United States. It may be found growing in shady areas with moist soil in USDA zones 5 - 9. Deer eat the stems and leaves; birds enjoy the seeds.
