The strongly upright habit of this tough and versatile plant makes it ideal for low hedging, while the richly variegated green and cream foliage will offer year round colour. It's also excellent for adding colour and structure to patio pots, and as Euonymus japonicus 'White Spire' tolerates partial shade, it can be used to illuminate areas that may need brightening up.

Plant in sun or partial shade in any well-drained soil, avoiding waterlogged spots. Water thoroughly after planting and during dry spells until established. Tip prune young plants in mid to late spring to encourage bushy growth and apply a 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted compost or manure around the base each spring to conserve moisture and feed the soil.
In variegated forms, remove any plain green-leaved shoots as soon as they appear, cutting them back to their origin to maintain colourful leaves. Lightly trim to shape in late spring or midsummer if needed, and feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring to promote healthy growth. Euonymus are hardy, but protection from cold, drying winds will prevent leaf scorch.
