Description
The Euonymus myrianthus is a medium-sized bush with beautiful evergreen green leaves, covered from April to July with pale yellow waxy flower clusters, followed by remarkable yellow-orange attractive berries. This beautiful Chinese Spindle is an unusual and underused shrub in our gardens. A rare specimen whose yellow-orange fruiting will warm up the garden in winter!
A very decorative evergreen bush with slow growth, the Euonymus myrianthus is native to western China and belongs to the Celastraceae family. This Chinese Spindle, with a bushy, rounded silhouette and dense branching, measures 3m (9 to 10ft) in all directions. It has beautiful foliage consisting of 5 to 10cm (3.9in) long, ovate and sometimes dentate leaves, leathery and matte to glossy green. From April to July, it is adorned with a multitude of small waxy flowers, of a bright greenish yellow, gathered in clusters. This abundant flowering gives way, in autumn, to fruiting in the form of yellow-orange capsules, 0.5 to 2cm (0.8in) in diameter, opening to reveal seeds with a bright scarlet orange aril which persist for a large part of winter, contrasting beautifully with the green foliage!
This myrianthus spindle was introduced to Europe in 1908 by Ernest Henry Wilson, a famous British botanist who discovered many plant species of Asian origin during his numerous travels.
This remarkable Chinese Spindle, with its unusual flowering, and attractive berries, should be planted in full sun or partial shade, in ordinary moist soil. With its multiple characteristics, it has many uses in the garden. With its evergreen foliage, it can be integrated into a mixed hedge and is perfectly suited for privacy screens. It will also look good at the back of a perennial bed, or inserted within a group of shrubs. It can even be placed under large trees. It is of course also possible to plant it in isolation.

Planting and care
The Eunonymus myrianthus is an evergreen bush that is very accommodating and well suited to novice gardeners. It can be planted in spring or autumn. It thrives in sunny or partially shaded locations, even under the shade of large trees. It grows in well-drained ordinary soil, with a slight preference for neutral to slightly alkaline soil. It can even tolerate poor and relatively dry soils. While it is hardy, it can be somewhat sensitive to cold, drying winds in winter. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a sheltered location.

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.
