Albomarginatus Spindle Tree – Euonymus japonica albomarginatus

Many of these cultivars also grow variegated leaves, usually in some combination of green, white, and yellow. They also grow small, greenish-white flowers with a vinegary smell. Cultivars of the plant, like ?Microphyllus?, can be as small as two to three feet tall, but E. japonicus itself is usually in the six to ten feet range and can grow as high as 15 feet if unchecked. It grows in a stiff oval mound, and its foliage is quite dense. These shrubs respond well to pruning in the spring, and they often lose their leaves in winter.
