The Variegated Euonymus is a popular ornamental shrub known for its eye-catching foliage and year-round visual appeal. Belonging to the Euonymus genus, this plant features glossy leaves with distinctive variegation—typically green centers edged in creamy white or golden yellow. It is often used in landscaping for borders, hedges, or foundation plantings due to its dense growth and tolerance for shaping through pruning. The plant is evergreen in mild climates, maintaining its foliage throughout the year, which adds to its popularity in both residential and commercial garden designs.
In addition to its aesthetic value, the Variegated Euonymus is appreciated for its low maintenance needs and adaptability. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and can grow in a variety of soil types, as long as they are well-drained. While it is relatively pest-resistant, it can occasionally attract scale insects, which are manageable with proper care. With its vibrant color and hardy nature, the Variegated Euonymus adds structure and brightness to almost any landscape.
