Blondy Euonymus Plant

Blondy Euonymus Plants offer fun and showy foliage, bearing creamy yellow leaves with haphazardly drawn dark green margins for a variegated Fortunei euonymous that is purely charming. Blondy is also much more sunburn resistant than other yellow varieties; in fact, the more sun, the more sunny yellow she displays. Her compact, mounding habit makes her almost perfect for about any application. Try it! You'll like it!
