Burning Bush Does Not Turn Red

I have a ring of burning bushes planted around my driveway. They do not turn the brilliant red that I had expected. They are healthy and green in summer but just don't turn red in the fall. They get full sun. Any ideas?

I just saw a thread on this and their thoughts were that it needed more sun or was a different variety of euonymous. Another thought is to take a few leaves into a local nursery and see what they can tell you.

I have a burning Bush that is planted in full sun. It has never been fertilized, but it is very healthy looking. I'm disappointed that it has never turned red in the fall. Please give me any suggestions as to what I should do. Thank you.

My burning bush is in full sun. It has never turned red. I planted it approximately 8 yrs ago. The ground is primarily sand. Does it need a certain fertilizer?
