Our Aureus Japanese Spindle Hedging Plants offer a vibrant and stylish solution for adding year-round color and structure to your garden. Featuring Euonymus japonicus 'Aureopictus Aureus', these plants are sold individually, allowing you to shape your hedge gradually over time. Unlike pre-shaped Hedging Elements, which are sold as mature units for instant impact, or Hedging Units that come in one-meter lengths for quick coverage, Aureus Spindle plants grow and develop at a natural pace. These plants also differ from Hedging Screens, which are thin and pre-trained for narrow spaces, offering a more traditional approach to hedging.
