Some 10 years ago Gus Bolwijn made a remarkable find. In a batch of Euonymus 'Sunspot' liners, he noticed one branch with exceedingly attractive leaves. Unlike Sunspot, with its small yellow spot, this branch displayed a big splash of pleasing yellow and a thin dark green margin. After years of testing, it proved to be a beautiful, neat growing shrub with superb hardiness and sunburn resistance. Blondy is a colorful evergreen that looks great all year long. It stays nicely mounded and doesn’t sprawl like other euonymus.
Features
Bold dark green and bright yellow evergreen foliage. Little care is needed; may be trimmed at any time. Bright yellow stems. Tidy, mounded habit. Low maintenance.

• Low Maintenance
*Even drought tolerant annual and perennial plants will need water for the first few weeks while they get established. Shrubs and trees will need to be watered for the first year after they are planted. After this, little or no supplemental water will be necessary when planted in the ground. No plant is truly drought tolerant in a container; water is necessary for all plants in containers.
