Golden Euonymus

Golden Euonymus (Euonymus japonicus 'Aureo-marginatus') is a striking evergreen shrub known for its vibrant golden variegated foliage. This compact shrub grows to a height of 4 to 6 feet, making it suitable for both small and large gardens. The glossy oval leaves feature a bright golden-yellow margin that beautifully contrasts with the dark green center. This eye-catching coloration provides a dramatic effect and adds visual interest to any landscape. Golden Euonymus is a versatile plant that thrives in a variety of conditions, from full sun to partial shade, and is tolerant of different soil types. Its dense growth habit makes it an ideal choice for hedges, borders, or foundation plantings. Inconspicuous greenish flowers may appear in late spring to early summer, followed by small red fruits in the fall, adding additional ornamental value and attracting birds. With its striking foliage and adaptability, Golden Euonymus is a popular choice for adding year-round color and texture to outdoor spaces.
