Product Description
Euonymus japonicus 'Kathy' features oval-shaped dark green leaves that fade towards the edges to a lighter green, finished with creamy-white margins and tips. This natural variegation adds light and contrast to your planting schemes, making it a standout choice for structure and colour in all seasons.
Reaching 0.5–1 metre in height and spread over 5–10 years, this variety is compact and well-suited to containers, low hedges, or mixed borders. Its dense growth and subtle colour shifts throughout the year make it particularly effective when planted en masse or used to soften hard edges in the garden.
Thriving in well-drained soil and full sun, 'Kathy' prefers a sheltered position to protect its delicate variegation from strong winds. Its reliable hardiness and low maintenance needs make it a great option for both novice and experienced gardeners alike.
