Golden Euonymus Care Requirements

Golden Euonymus is a low-maintenance shrub, but there are a few things you can do to ensure it stays healthy and looks its best.

Pruning: Prune Golden Euonymus in late winter or early spring to maintain its shape and control its size. Remove any dead or damaged branches, and cut back any new growth to maintain the desired shape.
Fertilizing: Golden Euonymus benefits from regular fertilization with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Apply the fertilizer in the spring, just as new growth begins.
Mulching: Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the shrub to help retain moisture and suppress weed growth.
Pest and disease control: Golden Euonymus is relatively pest and disease-resistant, but it can be susceptible to scale insects and spider mites. If you notice any signs of infestation, treat the shrub with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

In conclusion, Golden Euonymus is a beautiful and versatile shrub that can add a pop of color and texture to any garden or landscape.

Planting Instructions

Dig a Hole

First, dig a hole three times the width of the root ball of your plant. This makes it easier for the root system to spread out quickly. Dig the hole deep enough that your plant will sit level with or slightly above the ground around it.

Amend Your Soil

Mix your native soil with rich gardening soil to provide extra nutrients and support plant growth. If your soil is clay-heavy, we recommend mixing your native clay soil with equal parts of Pine Bark mulch to improve drainage and the overall breathability of your soil.

Place Your Plant

Examine the roots. If they appear tightly bound, gently coax them apart; this ensures they can spread into the new soil. Place your plant in the hole so the top of the rootball is even with the surrounding soil—Backfill around it with the amended soil mixture. The roots need access to oxygen for your plant to thrive, so do not cover the rootball; place soil around it.

Mulch Your Plants

Top the soil beneath your plant with 3-4 inches of mulch to help it retain moisture. Be careful not to cover the rootball - your new plants roots need access to oxygen.

Water Your Plant

Soak the plant with a hose afterward to hydrate the plant, as well as get the soil and mulch situated. Develop a regular watering schedule based on your plant's needs and local weather patterns. Remember, over watering is just as, if not more, harmful than under watering.

Spacing Recommendations

Golden Euonymus Spacing Recommendations

For a seamless planting, plant your Golden Euonymus 2-2.5 feet apart. For space between plantings, plant them 3+ feet apart.
