Euonymus 'Jean Hughes'

Troubled by failing box hedges? Euonymus 'Jean Hughes' is a brilliant little Euonymus cultivar that makes a fabulous alternative to box with small, dense foliage that looks lush throughout the year. This compact evergreen shrub forms a dense framework of small, glossy leaves on upright stems, making it ideal for low hedging, crisp edging and formal topiary shapes. Fresh growth emerges lighter before settling into a rich green, the foliage remaining immaculate all year. This 12-litre trough provides an instant low hedge a metre long and around 30-40cm high, perfect for partitioning areas with an evergreen screen.Slow growing yet robust, Euonymus 'Jean Hughes' responds well to regular clipping and maintains a tidy, bushy habit with minimal effort – perfect for low hedging from 20cm to 1m. Perfect for border edging, formal hedges, lining pathways and small topiary, it offers structure without constant attention and adapts well to a range of conditions, including partially shaded spots. A superb box alternative, free from the risks of box blight and box caterpillar. Ultimate height and spread: 1m (3.2ft).
