Since its introduction to the U.S. plant market in the early 80’s, this versatile shrub has become an American garden standard. Prized for its glossy, dark green foliage and narrow, upright growth habit, Green Spire Euonymus adds a structured, formal element to any landscape whether it is left unpruned or kept meticulously sheared. Though the flowers are small and inconspicuous, the evergreen leaves exhibit plenty of up-close interest with how they are densely stacked on multiple sky-reaching branches. Green Spire Euonymus is often trimmed and kept as a tall, tight hedge, but it also makes an excellent foundation or specimen plant that works well in entryways, containers, or any tight spaces that need a vertical accent!
