Description
The Euonymus japonicus Aureomarginatus is a particularly bright and colourful variety of Japanese Spindle, with beautiful dark green evergreen foliage strongly margined with golden yellow throughout the year, even in winter. It allows for the creation of dense and bright evergreen hedges and elegant topiaries for the terrace! This bush can be grown in full sun or partial shade, in any ordinary soil, even limestone, as long as it remains moist.
The Japanese Spindle belongs to the Celastraceae family. As its name suggests, it is native to Japan, but can also be found in China and Korea. In nature, this large bush grows on slopes, in open areas on the edge of forests, and even by the seaside where it can reach a height of 8m (26 ft 2 in) and become a tree. It has a hardiness of around -12°C (10.4 °F) and its growth is relatively slow.
The 'Aureomarginata' cultivar, with a more compact growth, is also distinguished by its variegated yellow and green foliage. In our gardens, it will reach an average height of 2m (6 ft 7 in) with a spread of 1.50m, even more if not regularly pruned. Its natural habit is bushy and rather upright. Well-branched from the base, its upright branches bear dense foliage, composed of glossy dark green leaves with irregular yellow margins. They are oval in shape, 3 to 5cm (1.2 to 2 in) long, with finely serrated edges. Inconspicuous flowering occurs in May-June at the tips of the young shoots. Tiny white-greenish flowers with 4 petals are clustered together. They are pollinated by insects and followed by the formation of small green fruits that turn pink and orange in autumn, hanging from the branches.
Euonymus japonicus Aureomarginatus, traditionally used to create medium-sized evergreen hedges, can also be used in shrub beds to create contrasting effects with bronze fennel, barberry, or even bush or ground cover roses. Its variegated foliage enhances all types of flowering and works wonders in partially shaded areas of the garden. Well-suited to coastal areas and urban gardens, the Japanese Spindle is often used to create hedges along pathways or property boundaries to protect from wind and prying eyes. It adapts well to container cultivation, which can be placed on the terrace or balcony, and is also suitable for pruning. Its height will be less significant in pots, allowing the gardener to experiment with topiary art.

Planting and care
Euonymus japonicus is preferably planted in spring in any well-drained soil in a gently sunny or lightly shaded position. It prefers deep soils, rich in humus, that remain moist, and tolerates the presence of limestone in the soil. It does not tolerate severe frost and proves hardy up to approximately -12/-14°C (10.4/6.8 °F). Hot and dry climates are not suitable for this evergreen Euonymus, as it may become infested with mealybugs and sooty mould. Pruning is well tolerated between April and May. Caution: pruning too early in spring can be harmful to young tender shoots, in the event of late frost. Similarly, frequent pruning can lead to the development of sooty mould, especially in very dry soil. Apply fertiliser twice a year, at the beginning of spring and autumn. In case of drought, water to maintain beautiful foliage. If the plant is grown in a pot, it is necessary to change the soil once a year in spring. Protect your potted plant if severe frost is forecasted (<-5°C (23 °F)).

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.
