{"product_id":"tom-thumb-dwarf-euonymus-euonymus-japonicus-microphyllus","title":"Tom Thumb Dwarf Euonymus - Euonymus japonicus 'Microphyllus' Tom Thumb","description":"\u003cp\u003eEuonymus japonicus 'Microphyllus', known as Tom Thumb Dwarf Euonymus or Japanese Spindle Bush, is one of the most refined and practical small hedging plants available for Australian gardens. The tiny, glossy emerald green leaves are densely packed on naturally upright narrow stems, creating a lush, jewel-like texture that is immediately appealing and highly effective as a low formal hedge, border edging, or container specimen. The foliage is rich and consistent year-round, maintaining its deep green colour through all seasons without the browning or dieback that can affect other small hedging plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNaturally growing to approximately 60cm, 'Microphyllus' hedges beautifully at 15 to 40cm tall, making it one of the most controllable and versatile low hedging plants available. It is tougher and quicker growing than Buxus, making it an excellent alternative for gardeners seeking a reliable, long-lived low hedge without the disease and pest pressures that have increasingly affected Buxus in Australian gardens. It performs well in full sun through to semi shade, suits coastal conditions, and grows happily in containers, making it one of the most adaptable small formal shrubs available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep moist during dry periods, mulch well around the base, and feed with a liquid fertiliser through the growing season to maintain the dense, lush growth that makes this plant so effective as a hedging and edging specimen. Clip to shape as required to maintain the desired height and density. Generally trouble free and long-lived, Tom Thumb Dwarf Euonymus is a genuinely reliable and beautiful small hedging plant that will reward with decades of neat, glossy green performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Nest","offers":[{"title":"14cm","offer_id":46523989164193,"sku":"Euonymus japonicus 'Microphyllus' Tom Thumb - 14cm","price":10.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20cm","offer_id":46523996373153,"sku":"Euonymus japonicus 'Microphyllus' Tom Thumb - 20cm","price":19.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/9711\/0433\/files\/5_c5e8ae4b-83e9-4707-8451-57a13aed2217.png?v=1780976341","url":"https:\/\/www.plantnest.com.au\/products\/tom-thumb-dwarf-euonymus-euonymus-japonicus-microphyllus","provider":"Plant Nest | Trees, Hedging Plants \u0026 Garden Inspiration","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
