Common name: Spindle 'Emerald Gold'

Description: This bright evergreen shrub features attractive green leaves with bold golden-yellow margins that create vibrant year-round colour and interest.

'Emerald Gold' is ideal for brightening darker corners, creating year-round interest, or providing golden accents in plantings.
