植樹: Emerald'n Gold Euonymus

在車道邊新植六棵Emerald'n Gold Euonymus.加添了新土:Triple Mix (Manure-Peat-Loam). 這種灌木樹的習性和特點抄錄如下,以備今後查閱參考:

A colorful evergreen shrub, providing bright green foliage with a gold edge, turning pink-red in cold weather. Its dense mounding habit makes it an excellent small hedge or border plant. Full sun. Moderate grower to 4 to 5 feet tall, 3 feet wide; a climber if supported. Cutting grown.

Design Ideas :

 

A very brilliant golden plant that makes dreary winter landscapes more cheerful. Makes a fine single specimen, but lower stature makes a fine barrier hedge inside existing gardens, or along the perimeter. Be careful with red volcanic gravels or bronze plants, and best combined with greens and neutral colored flowers.

Companion Plants:

 

This golden edged euonymus is a great hardy broadleaf that stands out boldly in gardens.

Let it provide the off season color until these flowering shrubs pick up the spotlight in spring and summer.

Look for Aphrodite Rose Of Sharon, (Hibiscus syriacus `Aphrodite`), Spring Glory Forsythia, (Forsythia x intermedia `Spring Glory`), and Slender Deutzia, (Deutzia gracilis).

Also serves as an accent for foilage shrubs like Northern Beauty Japanese Holly, (Ilex crenata `Northern Beauty`).
