Find Your Growing Zone!

Plants turn a 'ho-hum" lot into a special retreat far from the hectic modern world. You'll love the hard-working good looks of Green Spire Euonymus (Euonymus japonicus 'Green Spire')! Great garden design utilizes steadfast broadleaf evergreen plants to bring year-round color.

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!

Planting and Application:

Goodbye fussy and high-maintenance Boxwood, the Green Spire will envelop your outdoor garden rooms and property hedges in divine year-round green seclusion and privacy. Use a row along your pool deck, planting one foot apart on center. Add a second row, staggered behind the first one for a faster screen.

These reliable shrubs are frankly worth their weight in gold! Maximize the experience of outdoor living with Green Spire Euonymus! Easy, breezy evergreens ground your foundation, your planting beds, and your property line. Add one at the corner of your home to gain a steady shape. You'll bridge your land and your house in an easy-care manner.

Shear or prune to any size, these columnar shrubs easily fit into tight spaces and fill that narrow sideyard, or line a pathway in lush green. However, these tidy shrubs even look good when left to grow in their natural compact form!

Define your yard with enduring Green Spire Euonymus. This extraordinarily narrow shrub makes a big visual impact, Green Spire is also lush enough to provide an opaque screen.

Green Spire Euonymus stays full and dense all the way to the ground. Add to your mixed borders for a lovely, restful backdrop to flowering perennials and smaller shrubs. The architectural form of this shrub can even become an effective accent. Try a pair flanking either side of your front doorway.

Even larger planters and containers can gain tall and slender punctuation marks throughout sunny porches and patios for a classic to formal feel! A groomed geometric application would make a unique and interesting garden feature. Plant individual shrubs five feet apart in a small checkerboard, or plant a series of straight lines or serpentine lines. They'll add strategic privacy on balconies … no matter if you rent or own your home.

#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!
