Description
The Euonymus japonicus 'Bravo' is a particularly elegant variety of Japanese Spindle, with beautiful evergreen foliage variegated with green and white-cream, which brings life to the garden throughout the year, even in winter. With a bushy and compact habit, this bush allows for the creation of beautiful free hedges and bright backgrounds for flower beds! It can be grown in the ground or in containers, in full sun or partial shade, in any ordinary soil, even limestone, as long as it remains moist.
The Japanese Spindle belongs to the Celastraceae family. It is native, as its name suggests, to Japan. But it is also found in China and Korea. In nature, this large bush grows on slopes, in open areas on the edge of forests, and even by the seaside where it can reach a height of 8m (26 ft 2 in) and become a tree. It has a hardiness of around -12°C (10.4 °F) and its growth rate is quite slow. The 'Bravo' cultivar, with a more compact development, is also characterised by its small green leaves irregularly margined with white-cream. In our gardens, it will reach an average height of 2m (6 ft 7 in) with a spread of 1.50m, possibly more if not regularly pruned. Its habit is naturally dense and bushy, rather rounded. Well-branched from the base, its upright branches bear dense foliage, composed of shiny, leathery, and rigid leaves, dark green with irregular cream to very pale yellow margins. They are oval-shaped, 3 to 5cm (1.2 to 2 in) long, finely toothed along the edges. Inconspicuous flowering occurs in May-June, at the tips of the young shoots. Tiny white-greenish flowers with 4 petals are clustered together. They are pollinated by insects and are followed by the formation of small green fruits that turn pink and orange in autumn, hanging under the branches.
Euonymus japonicus 'Bravo' is valuable for creating medium-sized persistent hedges, whether free-form or occasionally trimmed. It can also be used in flower beds, contrasting with bronze fennel, barberries, or even bush or ground-cover roses. The Bravo Japanese Spindle is a versatile plant that can enhance flower beds with its variegated foliage, especially in semi-shaded areas of the garden. It is well-suited for coastal regions and urban parks. It is often used to create hedges along pathways or property boundaries to protect from wind and prying eyes. Additionally, it can be easily cultivated in containers and placed on terraces or balconies.

Planting and care
The Euonymus japonicus Bravo is preferably planted in spring in any well-drained soil in a gently sunny or lightly shaded position. It prefers deep, humus-rich soils that remain moist and tolerates the presence of limestone in the soil. It does not tolerate severe frosts and is hardy up to approximately -12/-14°C (10.4/6.8 °F). Hot and dry climates are not suitable for this evergreen spindle tree, as it may become infested with mealybugs and sooty mould. Pruning is well tolerated between April and May. Caution: pruning too early in spring can be harmful to young tender shoots in the event of late frost. Similarly, frequent pruning can lead to the development of sooty mould, especially in very dry soil. Apply fertiliser twice a year, in early spring and autumn. In case of drought, water to maintain beautiful foliage. If the plant is grown in a pot, it is necessary to change the soil once a year in spring. Protect your potted plant if severe frost is forecasted (<-5°C (23 °F)).

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
