Green Spire Euonymus is an extremely versatile evergreen that performs all year long. They grow into a tight column of glossy green. Petite leaves catch the available light. Don't be surprised to see sunlight flashing across the surface of this showy "workhorse".

New leaves emerge lighter green, offering a pretty mix between the mature dark green foliage. You'll probably never notice the tiny spring flowers … but beneficial pollinators certainly will. Feel good about this choice to support local ecology!

Strongly erect branches are held almost vertically and lend an energetic look to the landscape. Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 6 to 9, these 6-8 feet in height and 1-2 feet wide columnar evergreens are highly adaptable landscaping gems!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Plant Green Spire Euonymus in full sun or partial shade, and it requires at least four hours of sunshine to maintain its tight shape and healthy growth. Although we recommend a consistent schedule of water, Green Spire's root system needs well-drained soil. They won't tolerate sitting water, so elevate your planting site as needed. However, new shrubs need regular moisture and become drought-resistant once established.

Ensure you do not plant this shallow-rooted selection too deeply and apply a three-inch layer of mulch, then pull it back several inches away from the stems.

Prune to correct wayward branches at any time. Keep them pruned for size in early spring. Prune Green Spire as tightly as you'd like for a tidy, uniform look. It stands up to hard pruning, and could easily be kept as a showy low hedge, if you'd like.

These shrubs are salt-tolerant, that thrive through roadside 'hell strips', or in coastal areas without problems! Urban-pollution tolerant, there are few places where these hardy shrubs won't grow!
