Euonymus japonicus (Japanese Spindle) 'White Spire'
Towering yet elegant, this evergreen shrub commands attention with its slender, columnar silhouette and striking variegated foliage. The glossy leaves boast a bold white margin that beautifully frames the rich green centres, creating exceptional contrast in formal gardens and contemporary landscapes. Its naturally upright habit requires little pruning to maintain a crisp, vertical form, making it ideal for narrow borders, tight spaces or as a living exclamation point in mixed plantings. Unlike broader spreading evergreens, it offers year round structure without encroaching on surrounding plants. Exceptionally hardy, it withstands coastal winds, urban pollution and thrives in both full sun and partial shade. A superb choice for adding architectural interest while keeping maintenance to a minimum.
