Japanese Spindle Hedge (Euonymus japonicus 'Ovatus Aureus')

Euonymus japonicus Ovatus Aureus Hedge Plants Description

Euonymus japonicus Ovatus Aureus is a striking evergreen shrub that is ideal for hedging, known for its vibrant green leaves with bold golden-yellow variegation. This hardy plant adds year-round interest to any garden, with its dense, upright growth providing an excellent option for both formal and informal hedges. Tolerant of various soil types and thriving in full sun or partial shade, Euonymus Ovatus Aureus is easy to maintain and relatively slow-growing, making it simple to manage once established. Its colourful foliage brightens up borders and garden boundaries, while also offering structure and privacy.

Pruning Advice

Euonymus Ovatus Aureus can grow up to 2 metres but is highly tolerant of clipping, allowing it to be easily maintained at a more moderate height. To keep your Euonymus hedge dense and bushy, tip-trim the leading and main lateral shoots in May, followed by a tidy-up in September.

Further Information

Our recommended planting densities for each size and root type are detailed in the product grid. We advise using these recommendations as a guideline, considering the time frame you are willing to wait for your hedge to mature. As a general reference, bare root plants can be planted at densities ranging from 3 to 7 per metre, while cell-grown plants should be planted between 4 and 6 per metre. Higher densities may require planting in a double staggered row or a zig-zag pattern.
