Euonymus japonicus 'Microphyllus Aureovariegatus'

Common name: Japanese Spindle 'Microphyllus Aureovariegatus'

Description: This compact evergreen shrub features small, glossy green leaves edged with golden-yellow variegation that create bright year-round colour and interest. The tiny leaves give the plant a neat, refined appearance whilst the golden variegation brings light and warmth. The slow-growing, compact habit makes it perfect for containers, rock gardens, low hedges, or providing evergreen structure in small spaces. 'Microphyllus Aureovariegatus' is ideal for adding year-round golden accents, creating miniature topiary, or providing contrast in Japanese-style gardens. The small-scale foliage and bright variegation bring delicate beauty with minimal maintenance. This hardy euonymus is particularly suited to formal schemes and container cultivation.
