• Euonymus commonly known as Japanese Spindle Tree, native to the Far Eastern countries of Korea, Japan and China are easy to grow, hardy evergreen shrubs. They are often used as hedging but are ideal for patio pots or for planting in garden borders. These shrubs survive in growing conditions that can be more difficult for other shrubs.


• Euonymus Bravo is a lovely medium variety with a bushy growing habit. Its oval leaves are green in the centre with irregular creamy-margins that can appear grey-green in patches where the two overlap. During the Summer months, small greenish flowers will form.


• Euonymus Bravo is a low maintenance, undemanding shrub that will thrive in a range of well draining soils from light and sandy, to heavy clay in full sun to partial shade. It is a popular plant for a variety of garden settings, in particular cottage and informal gardens, in city and courtyard gardens but due to its hardy nature it is ideal for growing in coastal gardens but does not enjoy a cold spot, therefore a little shelter from chilly winds would help.

Watering Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil evenly moist while the plant establishes. Once established, water during prolonged dry periods rather than little and often, allowing the soil to drain between waterings. Container-grown plants should be checked more frequently in warm or windy weather.

Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained loam. Choose a position with good airflow and enough space for the plant to reach its mature size. Mulch after planting and keep the root zone free from prolonged waterlogging, particularly through winter.
