Product description
Euonymus ‘Kathy’, also known as the Japanese Spindle Shrub, is a lovely and easy to grow addition to any garden. The bright, glossy green leaves grow evergreen for year-round interest and carry variegated patterns of silver-white along the leaf edges. You may occasionally also see small, pale-green flowers emerge throughout the foliage to add a more colour to the already dense, bushy shrub. A great option for smaller gardens as it will grow quite rounded and compact, making it easy to manage and suitable for container planting, or as part of small shrub beds and rockeries.
Plant in moist, well-drained soil and keep in full or partial sun. Maintain soil moisture, watering less in the Winter. Tolerates most soil types.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may, therefore, differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. This plant will be supplied in a grower’s pot.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
