Spindle 'Emerald n Gold'

Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald 'n' Gold' is a versatile and colorful evergreen shrub that is a staple for low hedging and groundcover in the UK. Its primary attraction is its vibrant foliage: small, ovate leaves with bright golden-yellow margins and emerald green centres. During the winter months, the yellow edges often take on a stunning pinkish-red hue, providing much-needed colour in the dormant season. This plant has a bushy, spreading habit but is easily trained into a dense, low hedge that is perfect for bordering paths or defining flower beds. It is remarkably tough and adaptable, growing well in almost any soil type and tolerating both full sun and significant shade, though the variegation is most vivid in sunnier spots. It is fully hardy and requires only an occasional trim in May and September to keep it to the desired shape and size. It's a reliable, low-maintenance choice for adding year-round luminosity to the garden.
