Euonymus japonicus 'Ovatus Aureus'̴Ì?is an evergreen, variegated, golden coloured, plant - perfect as an ornamental hedge or shrub.
The Euonymus Japanese Spindle has wide, oval leaves with deep-green centres, that then fade into a lighter green, and further into a bright yellow around the edges. You will find that young leaves are a nice golden, yellow colour.
In the summer, you are treated with some elegant, pale green flowers, which are sometimes then followed by pink fruits during the Autumn. Bearing that in mind, most people will actually buy the Euonymus japonicus ‰ۡÌÝÌáOvatus Aureus‰ۡó» for decorative purposes, due to its stunning colours and evergreen attributes. It has the possibility to brighten up any garden.
The Euonymus Japanese Spindle is also popular for its toleration to all sorts of positions. This includes cold, coastal, exposed, and windy sites. It is also suitable to plant in many soils, except very wet, and it will provide the best possible variegation when it is grown in full sun- though you can still plant in semi-shade. Either way, this is quite a handy, durable plant.
Your Euonymus Japanese Spindle can grow up to 2m, but it can also be kept at a smaller height due to its high tolerance to generous trimming. To keep it looking lovely and bushy, trim the main leading shoots in May, and then tidy it up further in September.
When should I plant Japanese Spindle hedging?
We recommend planting Japanese Spindle plants during autumn, when the weather is a little cooler and damper.
How far apart do you plant Japanese Spindle plants?
Similarly, to other Euonymus varieties, Japanese Spindle should be planted around 25-35cm apart, to encourage a lush, bushy hedge.
How to plant Japanese Spindle:
Begin by removing any weeds or rocks etc., from your planting area. Then go on to digging a hole that is about twice as wide as the root ball, but the same depth. Break the soil up a bit using your spade, around the sides and bottom, to prevent soil compaction. Replace around 2 inches of soil.
Take your Japanese Spindle plant out from its pot, removing any dead roots you can see, and loosen the root ball up a little - this will encourage them to spread out and establish further.
Place the plant into the hole and make sure the base (bottom of stem) is around 2 inches above ground level. Backfill the hole with the excess soil and press down gently but firmly to secure the plant.
Finish off by giving the plant a very good watering around the base. You will need to water on a regular, weekly basis, and more so during dry spells/summer. Watering enough is very important as it encourages the roots to grow and develop, therefore influencing the shrub's establishment.

Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
Our bare root discount deals include bundles of 50, 100, and 250 plants. The bigger the bundle, the higher the discount.
