Fire Ball Seedless
Euonymus 'NCEA1'
Yes, you read that right: Fire Ball Seedless euonymus is the only seedless, sterile, non-invasive burning bush ( Euonymus alatus ) on the market! Leave it to the one and only Dr. Tom Ranney and his crew at the Mountain Horticultural Crops Research Station in North Carolina to develop this truly innovative, game-changing plant. It has all the durability and inferno-red color that you expect from burning bush but no risk of spreading into wild areas like conventional burning bush. For this reason, Fire Ball Seedless will be entirely replacing the original Fire Ball euonymus in the Proven Winners ColorChoice Flowering Shrubs line.
