Euonymus japonicus 'Jean Hugues' Hedge Plants Description

Euonymus japonicus 'Jean Hugues' is a dense, compact shrub with lovely evergreen foliage. It is well suited to garden borders and hedging and is tipped to be the new favourite alternative for Box hedging. Where Buxus may be susceptible to box blight, Euonymus Jean Hugues is not, although we have never had a customer complain of box blight after ordering from us! It is perfect for parterres and formal hedging as the foliage retains its dark green colour throughout winter.

Another popular species for a Box hedge lookalike is Ilex crenata, or you can view all of our suggested box alternatives here.

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.
