Euonymus Compactus Shrubs Have Not Turned Red

Question From: B. Kozak - Charter Township of Clinton, Michigan, United States
Q: My Euonymus Compactus shrubs are two years old & have not turned red yet. They are on the south west side of the house. Is there something I can do to help them turn red or do they turn another color? I live in South Eastern Michigan

A: Lack of sun is the usual cause. My house is south facing, but my porch puts the west side of the front of the house in shade. The second cause may be mis labeled plants, Not all euonymus are burning bushes that turn red. Those would be my best guesses. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
