Commonly called Winter Creeper for good reason! This vine will grow anywhere you want it and some places you don’t. Its unique ability to shapeshift from vine to groundcover to bush makes it an excellent choice for stone walls, trellises, foundations, or other areas that look nice when covered with a “cascading effect” of evergreen Euonymus foliage. However, buyer beware: we do mean covered. This plant is an ambitious grower and will take over just about everything if you let it!
This plant comes in green/pink, white/green, green/yellow, several green and gold single tones, and two-tone green shades. It’s quite stunning when kept in check and extremely un-picky about growing conditions, so it’s a reliable and hardy choice for year-round color.
