Japanese Spindle 'Silver King'
Providing year-round interest, Euonymus japonicus ‘Silver King’ (Japanese Spindle) is an upright, bushy, evergreen shrub with glossy, oval-round green leaves, 1-2 in. long (2-5 cm), adorned with silvery white edges. A few tiny, inconspicuous, yellow flowers are produced in late spring and early summer, which are rarely followed by fruits. Adding four season color in the landscape, this shrub is very versatile and may be used for massing or for a spot of color in the border. It is often planted to form a hedge, but it could be used in a topiary or espalier form as well.
