Description: Golden Euonymus is a bold, evergreen shrub valued for its vibrant yellow-and-green variegated foliage, which adds year-round color and structure to Austin landscapes. Best grown in full sun to maintain bright coloration, though it will tolerate partial shade. Provide protection from intense reflected heat and late afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch. This adaptable shrub handles pruning well and is often used in hedges, accent plantings, or container displays, performing well with minimal maintenance once established. Monitor for scale insects and maintain good air circulation.
