Euonymus 'Emerald Gaiety'
(Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald Gaiety')

Euonymus ‰ۡÌÝÌáEmerald Gaiety' is a compact, evergreen hedging shrub that has dark-green, glossy leaves with white trimmings that turn a pink-red colour in the Winter.

Like the Euonymus ‰ۡÌÝÌáKathy,‰ۡó» the ‰ۡÌÝÌáEmerald Gaiety,‰ۡó» is perfect for border hedging and is a great alternative if you are wanting to add some depths of colour and style to your garden. The shrub originates from China and was introduced into Britain by Robert Fortune (hence the name ‰ۡÌÝÌáfortunei') in the 19th Century. It is the ideal hedge if you are wanting to spice up your garden with some year-round colour.

You must acknowledge that every part of the plant is harmful if eaten.

Euonymus ‰ۡÌÝÌáEmerald Gaiety‰ۡó» can grow in any soil and pretty much any position (except from very wet sites) and is tolerant to coastal and exposed situations. It will thrive the best in full sun and will produce the best colours, but it will also do well in partial shade and even full shade.

  • Growth height: Slow (10-20cm per year)
  • Ideal height: 0.5m+ Small
  • Soil Type: Normal
  • Exposure: Coastal, Exposed, Inland
  • Aspect:̴Ì?Semi shade, Sun
  • Evergreen foliage? Yes

Regarding the maintenance of this plant, it is rather simple and all you must do is trim your Euonymus ‰ۡÌÝÌáEmerald Gaiety‰ۡó» between April and May, to keep it as prim and proper as you wish.

When should I plant Euonymus Emerald Gaiety hedging?

The best time to plant Euonymus is between March and April, or September and October.

How far apart do you plant Euonymus Emerald Gaiety?

If you are looking to create a lovely dense hedge, you will need to place each plant around 30cm apart.

How to plant Euonymus Emerald Gaiety:

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 up the soil a bit using a spade, around the sides and bottom, to prevent any soil compaction. Put back around 2 inches of the soil.̴Ì?

Remove the plant from its pot and cut away any dead roots you can see, and then loosen the root ball up a bit - this will encourage them to spread out and establish further.

Place the plant into the hole and make sure the plant's stem base is 2" above ground level. Backfill the hole with the excess soil and press down to secure the plant.

Finish off by giving the plant a good watering around the base. Continue to water weekly during its first summer - it may need to be more often than this if the weather is quite hot. You must water enough, however, as this encourages the roots to grow and develop.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    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
    Pot Grown

    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.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    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.

  • Instant Hedging
    Instant Hedging

    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.
