Euonymus Manhattan grows fast and can be expected to live for approximately 30 years or more under ideal conditions. Euonymus Manhattan performs equally well in full sun and full shade. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will thrive in inner-city environments. Euonymus Manhattan makes an excellent manicured privacy hedge or an informal screen to block out utility equipment or air conditioning units. Since Euonymus Manhattan performs well in dry and moist locations, it can be used almost anywhere in the landscape. Due to its extensive root system, this plant is used to stop soil erosion on slopes and hillsides. Manhattan euonymus hedges also make a great natural backdrop for a colorful shrub border. Use their dark green leaves as a backdrop for brightly colored flowering shrubs and perennials. Colorful flowers tend to “pop” or stand out when planted in front of the dark green foliage of this plant. Manhattan Euonymus is also a specimen plant when planted as a focal point throughout the landscape. They can withstand hard pruning with no burning and can be trimmed into a pyramid or ball shape or even trained along a wall as an espalier. During mid-summer, small white flower clusters form small but attractive pink ornamental fruit in the fall.
