Euonymus Jean Hugues is a compact and dense plant with beautiful evergreen foliage, well suited to hedging and garden borders - perfect alternative to Buxus!
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.

How far apart do you plant Spindle Jean Hugues plants?

How to plant̴Ì?Spindle Jean Hugues:
Begin by removing any weeds or rocks etc., from the 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 little using your spade, around the sides and bottom, to prevent any soil compaction. Replace around 2 inches of soil.̴Ì?
Remove your Euonymus Jean Hugues from its pot, taking away any dead roots that you can see, and loosen the root ball up a little - this helps to encourage the roots 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 at the base to secure the plant.
Finish off by giving the plant a good watering around the base. Ensure you continue to water weekly, and more so during dry spells/summer. Ensuring you water enough is very important, as the roots require plenty to be able to grow and develop effectively.̴Ì?

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.
