Description

Possibly one of the most versatile evergreens we sell, Euonymus comes in a number of different varieties. With its variegated leaves – green in the centre with golden tips, that turn pinky-red in the colder seasons; it’s easy to see why the ‘Emerald n Gold’ is one of the most popular.

Whether planted as a low informal hedge, as a climber or ground cover, this bushy evergreen is an excellent specimen shrub that thrives in most conditions including shade (though the foliage will retain its most vibrant tones in full sun). In the right conditions, these dwarf plants may even produce some small greenish flowers in late spring.

A great low-maintenance addition to any garden that provides year-round colour and interest.
