Description
The Euonymus fortunei 'Blondy' is a remarkable creeping spindle tree, with golden foliage edged in green, very bright, even in winter, ideal for brightening up partially shaded corners of the garden.
Originating from China, the fortunei spindle tree is a ground cover bush, slow-growing, perfectly hardy. The 'Blondy' variety, reaching a height of 60 cm (23.6 in), has a compact habit, bushy with flexible branches that can be easily trained. The evergreen, elliptical leaves, 3 to 6 cm (1.2 to 2.4 in) long, serrated, are golden and edged in dark green. In October, an insignificant flowering of small white-greenish flowers gives way to pinkish berries, toxic if ingested.
The Euonymus fortunei 'Blondy', easy to grow, thrives in well-drained soil, in sunny or partially shaded locations. Pruning is unnecessary, it is better to pinch out the young plants to encourage branching and only remove dead or diseased wood. It can be grown in a pot on a terrace, in a rockery or as a border. You can even train it against a stone wall or shape it into a topiary.
Tip: In case of drought, water to maintain beautiful foliage.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
