Euonymus japonicus ‘Microphyllus’, commonly known as Japanese Spindle, is a shrub adapted to many summer-dry climate gardens. This compact, evergreen shrub features glossy, dark green leaves and a dense, upright growth habit, making it an excellent choice for hedges or borders in mediterranean climates. Japanese Spindle thrives in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade, requiring minimal water once established. Its small size and tolerance for pruning make it ideal for formal gardens. Native to Japan, this versatile plant adds structure and texture to the landscape, providing year-round interest. Consider incorporating Japanese Spindle into your garden design for a touch of elegance and sophistication.
