Notes
'Silver King' euonymus (Euonymus japonicus 'Silver King') is a shrub for borders, containers, 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 soil of most types. It is an evergreen with a dense habit and a moderate growth rate. You can count on it to handle drought and salty air, so it is a low maintenance choice.
Pairs well with St. John's wort, Fountain grass, and Hummingbird's mint.
