Botanical nameEuonymus fortunei

Euonymus fortunei ‘Sungold’ is a very bright evergreen shrub, appreciated for its warm variegated foliage and its great reliability in landscaping. It develops a dense, spreading, and well-branched habit, making it an excellent shrubby groundcover for borders, embankments, rockeries, and mass plantings. Its dark green foliage, broadly margined with intense golden yellow, brightens the garden all year round and can take on subtle pinkish to reddish hues in winter, adding additional seasonal interest. With infrequent and inconspicuous flowers, it is primarily sought after for the consistency and decorative impact of its evergreen foliage. Very hardy and well-adapted to Quebec conditions, Euonymus fortunei ‘Sungold’ is easy to maintain, tolerant, and ideal for sustainably structuring spaces with vibrant and stable color.
