It is very hardy and will grow in all soils. Ideal for hedging of up to 1m, it is easy to maintain and will grow in full sun to partial shade.

Pruning Advice

A gentle tip trim in May helps encourage bushier growth and maintain its dense, compact shape. A follow-up trim in September ensures that any summer growth is tidied up, helping your hedge look its best throughout the autumn and winter months.

Euonymus japonicus 'Jean Hugues' Hedge Plants Description

Welcome the Euonymus japonicus 'Jean Hugues' into your garden, a robust and elegant evergreen with a dense, compact form and dark green foliage that retains its vibrancy through the winter months. This shrub stands out as a stellar choice for both garden borders and formal hedging, and is a popular alternative to Box hedging thanks to its resistance to box blight.

This makes it a practical and beautiful addition to any garden. It is especially suitable for crafting parterres and formal designs as the foliage retains its dark green colour throughout winter.

Euonymus japonicus 'Jean Hugues' grows at a slow rate of 10-20cm per year and can reach a height of one meter. It thrives with minimal care and adapts well to various environments, whether planted in sun or partial shade. It prefers moist-to-normal soil conditions and can handle various planting locations, such as sheltered or exposed sites and inland or coastal.

We offer Euonymus 'Jean Hugues' hedging plants in root-ball varieties from mid-October to mid-April and pot-grown plants all year round.*

Learn more with our root types guide, or find out how to keep your plants in the best condition after arrival with our guide to planting hedges.

*Bare-root and root-ball stock are subject to availability and may change, but are generally available from autumn through to spring.

What are root types?

Root types explained.

Bare root
Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
Pot grown
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
Root ball
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
Instant
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hedging troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
