Euonymus Silver Swan 3 Litre

Euonymus japonicus ‘Silver Swan’ – Elegant Variegated Evergreen for Year-Round Interest

Euonymus japonicus ‘Silver Swan’ is a refined evergreen shrub, prized for its crisp variegated foliage and naturally compact growth habit. The glossy green leaves are beautifully edged with creamy white margins, creating a bright, clean appearance that brings light and contrast to planting schemes throughout the year.

Its dense branching and tidy habit make it an excellent choice for low hedging, formal borders, patio containers, and evergreen structure within mixed planting. Unlike larger euonymus varieties, ‘Silver Swan’ remains compact and manageable, making it particularly useful in smaller gardens and contemporary landscapes.

The attractive foliage remains colourful in every season, providing valuable winter interest when many other plants are dormant. Its neat growth also responds well to clipping, allowing it to be maintained as a formal hedge or shaped feature plant.

Thriving in full sun or partial shade, it performs well in most well-drained soils and is highly tolerant of coastal and urban conditions once established. Hardy and low maintenance, it requires very little attention beyond occasional trimming to maintain shape.

Bright, versatile, and easy to grow, Euonymus ‘Silver Swan’ is an excellent choice for adding evergreen colour and structure to the garden.
