Grandifolia Evergreen Japanese Euonymus

‘Grandifolia’ is a broadleaf evergreen Japanese euonymus distinguished by large, glossy, dark-green leaves. Its dense, compact growth makes it a practical hedge shrub where a substantial evergreen screen is useful. ## Garden Use Allow about 6–8 feet of height and 4–6 feet of width, or clip the shrub to fit its space. Glover Nursery lists it for full sun through filtered light and afternoon shade, and reports white spring flowers and moderate water needs. Its mature form and large leaves also suit a foundation planting or mixed evergreen border. ## Growing Conditions Choose a well-drained site and water consistently as the plant establishes; avoid standing water. The cultivar listing supports USDA zones 5–7, but local winter exposure and drainage still matter. See [Glover Nursery’s exact cultivar listing](https://glovercatalog.com/product/euonymus-japanese) and [NC State Extension’s species guide](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/euonymus-japonicus/common-name/japanese-spindle-tree/) for growing and pest context. ## Maintenance Clip after growth when shaping a hedge, and remove dead or crowded branches. Inspect for euonymus scale, a common pest of Japanese euonymus that can cause spotted leaves and branch dieback; prune and discard heavily affected growth.
