The vibrant, upright Euonymus Europaeus Red Cascade is a star of the autumn border, when its leaves change to a stunning scarlet.
Euonymus europaeus 'Red Cascade', a selection of our native spindle, is another plant that is easy to come by, but not to be sniffed at for its ubiquity.
Think about planting native shrubs and trees such as Acer campestre (Field Maple), Crataegus monogyna (Hawthorn), Ilex aquifolium (English Holly), Malus prunifolia (Crab apple), Euonymus europaeus (Spindle), Rosa rugosa, Viburnum opulus (Guelder rose) and the non-native Buddleja davidii 'Black Knight' (Butterfly bush).
