The detail

Euonymus japonicus 'Microphyllus' is a compact, dense evergreen shrub prized for its small, glossy dark green leaves. Widely regarded as one of the best alternatives to Buxus (Box), this resilient shrub is naturally resistant to box blight, making it an excellent choice for low hedging, formal edging, borders and containers. Its neat, bushy habit requires minimal maintenance and responds well to clipping, allowing you to shape and maintain a tidy, structured appearance throughout the year.

This plant is supplied as a single specimen in a 26cm root ball, well-established and ready for planting directly into the garden or a suitable container.
