Description

The Euonymus japonicus ‘Aureus’, also known as Golden Euonymus, is a hardy, evergreen shrub known for its vibrant yellow-green foliage. Native to Japan, Korea, and China, it is widely cultivated for ornamental use due to its striking appearance and low maintenance. In Cyprus, it thrives in both full sun and partial shade, making it ideal for gardens, borders, and pots. It reaches up to 2.5 meters in height and can be shaped through pruning. This plant is drought-tolerant once established and can withstand urban pollution and coastal winds. Its vivid, variegated leaves provide year-round interest in Mediterranean landscapes.
