Euonymus japonicus 'Aureus' (Pleached Wall Frame) – Bold Evergreen Screening with Golden Foliage

Euonymus japonicus 'Aureus' is a vibrant, evergreen shrub prized for its striking variegated foliage: deep green leaves boldly edged in golden yellow. When grown in a pleached wall frame, this reliable evergreen transforms into a living fence—perfect for structured screening, formal backdrops, and elegant space division. With year-round colour and minimal maintenance, it’s an ideal solution for gardens needing privacy, shape, and brightness in all seasons.

Seasonal Beauty & Growth

Spring:

• Fresh foliage bursts into growth with vibrant golden-yellow margins that brighten up even shaded corners.

• The flat pleached head thickens out, creating a fuller and more effective screen.

• Light clipping in late spring helps maintain its crisp, rectangular shape.

Summer:

• Foliage remains bold and eye-catching, providing a clean and structured backdrop to borders or patios.

• Small, inconspicuous greenish-white flowers may appear, though the foliage remains the main feature.

• Excellent time to enjoy the screen at its most lush and colourful.

Autumn:

• Variegation stays strong as cooler weather arrives, maintaining year-round interest.

• May benefit from a light trim to tidy the frame going into winter.

• The head retains its shape and structure with very little effort.

Winter:

• Fully evergreen, ‘Aureus’ holds its dense foliage through the cold months, offering shelter, privacy, and colour when most plants fade.

• The pleached structure adds formal elegance and architectural shape to the winter landscape.

Structure & Form

• Form: Flat, rectangular canopy of clipped foliage on a single stem, ideal for space-saving screening.

• Growth Habit: Upright, bushy, and slow to moderate in growth—responds well to regular clipping.

Perfect for Various Landscapes

• Privacy Screens: Use along boundaries or fences to create a neat, evergreen wall with vibrant foliage.

• Urban & Courtyard Gardens: Ideal for tight spaces where horizontal screening is needed without taking up ground space.

• Formal Settings: Adds structure, height, and symmetry to classic garden designs or modern, minimalist landscapes.

• Seasonal Backdrops: Creates a consistent backdrop for showcasing flowering perennials or seasonal planters in front.

Growing Conditions & Care

• Position: Best in full sun to partial shade—brighter light enhances the golden variegation.

• Soil: Thrives in most well-drained soils, including chalk and clay. Tolerant of urban conditions and coastal exposure.

• Maintenance: Easy to care for—clip 1–2 times a year to maintain the flat head. Feed with a general-purpose fertiliser in spring to support growth.

• Hardiness: Fully hardy across the UK, and wind-tolerant once established.
