Euonymus fortunei ‘Canadale Gold’

Description

A vigorous sprawling vine or mounded shrub featuring stunning gold variegated evergreen leaves all season long; a superb color accent for almost any garden or screening application

Canadale Gold Wintercreeper is a multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with a ground-hugging habit of growth. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other landscape plants with less refined foliage.

This shrub will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and can be pruned at anytime. Gardeners should be aware of the following characteristic(s) that may warrant special consideration;

Canadale Gold Wintercreeper has attractive gold-variegated light green foliage on a plant with a spreading habit of growth. The glossy oval leaves are highly ornamental and remain light green throughout the winter. It produces pink capsules from mid to late fall.

Canadale Gold Wintercreeper will grow to be about 4 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 12 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn’t necessarily require facer plants in front. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 30 years.

This shrub performs well in both full sun and full shade. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations, and should do just fine under average home landscape conditions. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.
