Japanese Spindle Kathy

A hardy sub-shrub for the smaller garden, Euonymus japonicus Kathy is a small, evergreen shrub, with an upright, clump-forming habit. The ovate leaves are deep green at first, fading to light green, with creamy-white margins. This is an interesting, low-maintenance foliage plant, suited to both courtyard and cottage gardens, and the leaves are good for flower-arrangers. Prune out any completely green (reverted) shoots whenever they appear, and prune to shape in spring. It can also be used as a low hedge.
