Set of 3 or 6 Euonymus Microphyllus Hardy Evergreen Shrub Plants, Japanese Spindle Hedge, Box Blight Alternative, Outdoor Garden Ready, 1 Litre Root-Ball

Add year-round structure and elegant greenery to your garden with this set of three Euonymus microphyllus plants, each supplied in a 1 litre pot. Known for its dense, compact growth and small, glossy dark green leaves, Euonymus microphyllus is one of the most popular choices for low formal hedging, neat garden edging and border planting. Its naturally tidy habit makes it an excellent alternative to traditional box hedging.

This hardy evergreen shrub thrives in a wide range of conditions, tolerating both full sun and partial shade, and adapting well to most soil types provided drainage is reasonable. Once established, it requires minimal maintenance — an occasional trim is all that is needed to keep it looking sharp and well-defined. It is also well suited to container growing, making it a versatile option for patios, courtyards and balcony gardens.
