20/30cm Pot Grown Spindle 'Jean Hugues'
(Euonymus japonicus 'Jean Hugues')

The Euonymus Jean Hugues is the ideal hedging for traditional gardens, as well as creating borders on pathways. This is due to the fact it is a very easy plant and to keep trimmed and neat, and the foliage will remain a stunning dark-green year-round. Even better, the Euonymus Jean Hugues is a great alternative to the Box as it does not have the risk of getting Box blight.

It is a low growing shrub, with a particularly hardy nature, and is sprinkled with fragrant flowers that come through in June/July. You really will be treated with lovely colours all year.

We do recommend you plant your Jean Hugues in a nice, sunny spot, to get the best out of the luscious colours, however, it can tolerate full shade too.

• Growth height: Slow (10-20cm per year)
• Ideal height: 1.2m-1.5m Medium

As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks before planting it. Just ensure you keep the plant well-watered, and it gets enough sun. Don't leave it for too long, however, as you don't want the roots becoming root bound.
