Euonymus Fort. Emerald n Gold

Euonymus fortunei ‘Emerald ’n’ Gold’ is a reliable, low, bushy evergreen shrub valued for its year-round foliage: small, glossy leaves mid-green with broad golden-yellow margins, often flushed pink in cold weather. Tiny greenish flowers may appear in early summer, but it’s chiefly grown for its bright, tidy foliage. It thrives in full sun, partial shade or shade in Ireland, in any well-drained soil, and responds well to light clipping for neat edges, mounds or groundcover.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
