GOLDEN EUONYMUS (aureum euonymus)

Golden Euonymus is an xcellent choice for a colorful hedge, this evergreen shrub displays dense, bold green and gold variegated foliage on an upright growth habit. This tough shrub is adaptable to adverse conditions and tolerates poor, lean soils. Versatile and easy to care for, it requires minimal attention once established, but takes well to regular pruning.

The Golden Euonymus gives a stunning effect when massed or planted in a row. It can be used as a specimen or foundation plant and creates s nice border or hedge (if clipped regularly). A single Golden Euonymus makes a big, bold statement and is best suited for larger gardens.

It is a very reliable focal point in larger evergreen landscapes. Golden Euonymus is an ideal hedge, as it can be sheared to maintain a height or left to grow into a natural form that is dense enough to make a good visual and sound barrier.

PLANTING Golden Euonymus:

I suggest when planting your newly purchased Golden Euonymus plants that you dig a hole twice as wide as the root system but not deeper. Depending on the quality of your existing soil you may need to add a locally sourced compost or topsoil to the back-fill soil. I do not recommend using straight topsoil or compost as a back-fill soil because more times than not these products will retain entirely to much moisture and will cause the root system to rot. Adding compost or topsoil will help the young feeder roots of Golden Euonymus to spread through the loose, nutrient rich soil, much easier than if you used solely the existing soil which more times than not will be hard and compacted.

I wish you a good luck planting this beautiful plant Golden Euonymus!
