The Euonymus japonicus 'Happiness' is a compact shrub cherished for its radiant, golden-yellow foliage that brings a literal glow to the garden. Unlike many other shrubs that change color with the seasons, 'Happiness' maintains its vibrant, buttery-yellow hue on the new growth, which matures into a rich, lime green. It features a naturally neat, upright, and bushy habit, typically reaching a modest height and width of about 2 feet.
'Happiness' Euonymus thrives in full sun to partial shade. While it is quite adaptable, the gold coloring is most intense when it gets plenty of light. It prefers well-drained, fertile soil and should be watered regularly during its first growing season to establish a strong root system, though it becomes quite drought-tolerant once mature. 'Happiness' is incredibly low-maintenance and requires almost no pruning to keep its tidy shape, though it handles clipping well if you prefer a more formal look. Because it is salt-tolerant and hardy, it performs exceptionally well in coastal gardens or urban environments where space and air quality can be a challenge.
