Japanese euonymus is an evergreen shrub with a rounded, compact form that grows to about 6 to 8 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide. It makes a useful hedge and tolerates shearing. It might be nice interplanted with groupings of variegated miscanthus, to provide textural and color contrast.
Grow in well drained soil in part to full shade. Listed in catalogs as grwoing in full sun, but in our hot, arid climate, it gets stressed in full sun and experiences leaf scorch, especially when planted against a south or west wall - so provide, at the least, mid-day shade.
