Description:
Euonymus japonicus 'Green Rocket', commonly known as Green Rocket, is an evergreen shrub known for its upright, columnar growth habit and dense, glossy green foliage. This versatile plant is ideal for hedging, borders, and topiary, offering a low-maintenance option for formal garden designs. Its compact and structured form makes it an excellent alternative to boxwood for faster establishment in garden spaces.
Flowers:
In spring, Green Rocket may produce small, greenish-white flowers. These flowers are subtle and not particularly showy but add a touch of seasonal interest to the plant.
Foliage:
The plant features small, oval-shaped, dark green leaves with a slightly serrated edge. The dense foliage retains its rich color throughout the year, providing year-round structure and greenery in the landscape.
Fruit:
Occasionally, Green Rocket may develop small, red to purple berries in late summer to autumn, though these are not significant ornamental features.
Form and Size:
Green Rocket has a naturally upright, narrow growth habit, typically reaching a height of 1 to 1.2 meters and a spread of 0.5 to 0.6 meters. Its compact size and columnar form make it perfect for narrow spaces, formal hedging, or as a feature in containers.
Growing Conditions:
This shrub thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to various soil types, provided they are well-draining. Green Rocket is both drought and frost tolerant once established, making it suitable for a wide range of climates, including coastal areas.
Uses:
Ideal for use in formal hedging, borders, and topiary, Green Rocket is also perfect for container planting on patios and balconies. Its dense foliage and upright form make it a versatile choice for low-maintenance landscapes, adding structure and texture to garden beds.
Maintenance:
This plant is relatively low-maintenance. Light pruning in spring and autumn helps maintain its shape and encourages dense growth. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy foliage. Water regularly during the establishment phase, but once mature, it is quite drought-tolerant.
Notes:
Green Rocket is valued for its adaptability, resilience, and compact form. Its tolerance of drought and frost, combined with its low-maintenance needs, make it a popular choice for both residential and commercial landscaping projects.
Companion Plants:
Pairs well with other formal hedging plants such as Buxus (Boxwood) and Westringia. It also complements flowering shrubs like Lavender and Roses, adding a structured backdrop to mixed borders.
