Euonymus japonicus ‘Green Spire’ Cone – Evergreen Topiary with Year-Round Structure
Euonymus japonicus ‘Green Spire’ Cone is a smart and versatile evergreen, clipped into a neat conical shape for instant structure and form. Its dense, glossy dark green foliage creates a refined appearance, making it an excellent alternative to box for contemporary or formal planting schemes.
The naturally upright, compact growth of ‘Green Spire’ allows it to maintain its shape well, requiring only light trimming to keep the cone crisp and defined. Its rich green leaves provide reliable year-round colour, offering structure through every season and complementing both traditional and modern garden designs.
Perfect for flanking doorways, lining pathways, or adding height to mixed borders, this cone form works equally well in containers or planted directly into the ground. It is particularly effective when used in pairs for symmetry or repeated through a scheme to create rhythm and balance.
Hardy and easy to grow, Euonymus ‘Green Spire’ thrives in sun or partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Once established, it is low maintenance and tolerant of a range of garden conditions, making it a practical yet elegant addition to the garden.
