Euonymus japonicus 'Kathy' – 7.5Ltr Pot

Euonymus japonicus 'Kathy' is a striking variegated evergreen shrub offering year-round colour and structure. With its distinctive cream-edged foliage and compact habit, it's ideal for brightening borders, containers, or mixed planting schemes.


Key Features

  • Attractive variegated foliage with creamy-white margins and light green tips
  • Evergreen structure for year-round garden interest
  • Compact and rounded form, ideal for small spaces and low hedging
  • Tolerates a wide range of soil types, including chalk, clay, and sandy soils
  • Performs best in full sun, enhancing the brightness of its variegation
  • Hardy and easy to care for, perfect for low-maintenance gardening

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.
