Description
Euonymus fortunei Emerald n Gold is a dwarf spreading evergreen shrub with green leaves broadly edged in yellow and often tinged pink in winter.
Its dense, adaptable growth works as ground cover, a clipped low hedge, a container accent, or a climber against support. Grow in well-drained soil from sun to shade, using more sun where soil retains moisture for the brightest color, and prevent unwanted spread where wintercreeper is locally invasive.
