Patio Spindle Tree
Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald 'n Gold'
- If you've got the words emerald and gold in your name, then you best make sure you've earned it... Boy does this euonymus earn it.
- With its brilliant variegated foliage in chartreuse and lime green hues, this variety delivers instant evergreen impact wherever it's found.
- Growing to just over a metre (or so) in height, it's perfect for patios, terraces and balconies (or even in beds and borders).
- A recipient of the RHS's prestigiousĀ Award of Garden Merit, this variety has been shown to perform particularly well in British gardens.
- Did you know? Spindle plants (its common name) were called as such because they were the preferred wood to make the kinds of spindles used in old textile manufacturing!

Meet Mike's trusted specialists
Start with a touch of continental sun
Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where thatās not possible, Mike sources the best specialist growers in Europe for the job. Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the Cotswolds, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
