Euonymus japonicus 'Aureovariegatus'
Gold Spot Euonymus
Description
This reliable shrub can quickly reach 10' tall and 6' wide, thus used as a hedge or screen. This plant does best in full sun (even in some desert areas) but requires regular watering and more during hot summer months. Foliage is evergreen, somewhat oval shaped, yellow-centered blotches surrounded by dark green edges. It tolerates coastal conditions. Flowers are considered inconspicuous.
