Euonymus myrianthus is a rarely grown, evergreen shrub native to Western China. It has glossy, bright green leaves, which contrast beautifully with dense heads of green-yellow flowers in spring. The flowers are followed by yellow fruit, which split to reveal a red-orange seed. This is further enhanced by bold autumn foliage.

Grow Euonymus myrianthus in moist but well-drained soil in sun or partial shade.
