Euonymus jap. Paloma Blanca

Euonymus japonicus ‘Paloma Blanca’ is a compact, upright evergreen shrub valued for its striking spring display: fresh new shoots emerge a luminous creamy white before maturing to glossy green, creating a bold, columnar accent. It performs reliably in full sun or light shade and in most well-drained, moderately fertile soils, including those over chalk. Slow-growing and low maintenance, it is well suited to containers, low hedging, and structural planting, and it copes well with coastal conditions and exposed sites. Small, inconspicuous greenish flowers may appear in late spring to early summer.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
