Product information
Euonymus Japonicus ‘El Dorado’ is a compact evergreen shrub with bright yellow new foliage that matures to green. Growing to around 60 cm high, it’s ideal for small gardens, pots or a low hedge and performs best in full sun to retain vivid leaf colour. Hardy to H4 (-10 to -5°C), low maintenance—plant in well-drained soil, keep watered and fed while establishing, and trim in summer if needed.
- Planting period – January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
- Unpack and as long as the weather is favourable, put outside as soon as it arrives and give it a water. When ready to plant, ensure it’s positioned in the right location and aspect in the garden. Keep the area around it clear to avoid overcrowding which reduces its establishment and growth. Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant’s rootball. If your soil is heavy, mix in a soil improver before backfilling. We also recommend adding plant feed into the hole before back filling to help establishment and growth. Place the plant in the hole so that it sits at the same level in the ground as it did in the pot. Firm the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
- Keep it well watered and fed for establishment and growth. Trim in summer if needed
- H4 – Hardy through most of the UK (-10 to -5°C)
