Euonymus cornutus

A very special species of 'Spindle' from China with attractive very narrow foliage and fascinatingly beautiful, if subtle, soft-red translucent flowers. The finest feature is, however, the fruit capsules, which have 4 to 5 projecting horns, resembling a jester’s hat, the orange seeds dangling out on tiny threads. A small to medium shrub reaching about 2m. Hardy.
