#ProPlantTips for Care:

Euonymus are highly adaptable and tolerant of a variety of conditions including heat, poor soils, and salt spray. Thriving in full sun in cooler growing zones, and appreciating some afternoon shade in hotter climates, these are easygoing plants with lots of potential! Plant in well-drained soil with moderate moisture access throughout the growing season and give them a good drink when the winter weather is dry. All plants appreciate a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch over their roots to keep them insulated and hold in moisture. Prune if needed in the early spring, but these are naturally tidy little plants and won't need much work from you!

• Full Sun & Afternoon Shade
• Moderate Moisture Needs

• Low-Maintenance - Prune in Spring If Needed
