This little evergreen euonymus is finely textured, with a densely rounded habit growing to only about 1 to 2 feet tall and about half as wide. Foliage is a dark green with white leaf margins. Well suited as a little hedge or border, or as an evergreen specimen in a perennial border. Its compact habit makes it naturally tidy, though it will tolerate shearing.

Grow in well-drained, loamy soils in full sun to part shade. Its slow rate of growth and naturally dense habit makes it a tidy little shrub without alot of effort, though it does tolerate shearing and shaping. It is also well suited to container culture, though it will need some sheltering over the winter. In full sun, it will probably need weekly watering, especially if planted against a west or south-facing wall.
