Notes
'Microphyllus' euonymus (Euonymus japonicus 'Microphyllus') is a shrub for borders and hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows at a moderate rate and forms a dense, evergreen shape. It tolerates drought and salt, so it suits tough spots.
Pairs well with Snowbrush, Shasta daisy, Fountain grass, and Autumn fern.
