Description
The Euonymus japonicus 'Suzanne' is a variety of Japanese Spindle of small size, forming a compact bush, notable for its small dark green leaves, finely marginated with cream white. Evergreen, this adorable little shrub is a full-fledged decorative element: it brightens up the rockery, forms an original and refined border, or decorates the terrace even in the middle of winter. It will thrive in light shade, ordinary soil, even limestone, but remaining moist.
The Japanese Spindle belongs to the family of Celastraceae. It is native, as its name suggests, to Japan. But it is also found in China and Korea. In the wild, this large shrub grows on slopes, in open areas on the edge of the forest, up to the seashore where it can become a tree of 8 m (26 ft) in height. Its hardiness is around -12°C (10.4°F), and its growth is quite slow.
The cultivar 'Suzanne', sometimes known as 'Susan', has slow growth, and shows reduced development that will rarely exceed 80 cm (31.5 in) in all directions, especially if pruned every spring. Its natural habit is very dense and bushy, distinctly rounded. Well-branched from the base, its upright branches bear dense foliage, composed of glossy, tough and rigid leaves, dark green with cream white margins. They are lanceolate to ovate in shape, irregular, with dentate edges, and slightly undulate.
The Euonymus japonicus 'Suzanne' is valuable for establishing the permanent structure of low beds and particularly contributes to the decoration of the terrace. Its variegated foliage enhances all flowerings and works wonders in semi-shaded areas of the garden. Well-adapted to the seaside and urban gardens, the Japanese Spindle 'Suzanne' can be used to create miniature hedges along paths or terraces. It can be planted alone or accompanied by robust ground covers such as Teucrium chamaedrys, adorned with a few Erigeron karvinskianus plants and Acanthus Whitewater, with beautifully variegated foliage and soft pink flower spikes.

Planting and care
The Euonymus japonicus 'Suzanne' prefers to be planted in spring in well-drained soil in a slightly sunny or lightly shaded position. It prefers deep soils, rich in humus, that stay moist, and tolerates the presence of limestone in the soil. It is sensitive to heavy frost and is hardy up to approximately -12/-14°C. The hot and dry climates in the south of our country are not suitable for this evergreen spindle, as it may become infested with mealybugs and sooty mold. Pruning is well tolerated between April and May. Caution: pruning too early in spring can be detrimental to young tender shoots, especially in case of late frost. Similarly, excessive pruning can lead to the development of sooty mold, especially in very dry soil. Apply fertilizer twice a year, in early spring and autumn. Water during drought to maintain a beautiful foliage. If the plant is cultivated in a pot, it is necessary to change the growing substrate once a year in spring. Protect your pot if heavy frost is forecast (<-5°C).

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.
