We have just been given a Euonymus Harlequin (2l) the label says full - shade. However the RHS website only says partial shade. We are planning on putting in a very shaded area, will it survive :)?

    It will survive may go a bit leggy looking for light and the variegation may be faded . What are you classing as very shaded ? zero sunlight shaded by large trees

    Flanked by 2 fences and under (all be in the actual branches are 3m above, a tree. I believe it gets some sunlight in the morning but very minimal.

    I think it might be ok @Samridout92. Get it well watered until established - that might be it's biggest challenge. Then see how it does. 
    Many of these variegated plants need reasonable shade, but they do need some light as well. If you have nowhere else more suitable, give it a go. It's all you can do.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Thank you :) I might move some bits around to get it in the sunniest/shadiest spot if that makes sense!
