Emerald 'N Gold Wintercreeper Euonymus

The Emerald 'N Gold Wintercreeper Euonymus (Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald n Gold') is an easy-care, colorful, small, low-growing broadleaf evergreen shrub that spreads nicely but is so simple to keep in check! Reads like your wish list for a modern front yard landscape, doesn't it? The new leaves in spring emerge yellow, with bright green leaves liberally edged in delicious gold during the growing season. The Emerald 'N Gold Wintercreeper brightens your landscape despite the heat, cold, sun, or humidity! In the Fall, you will see a beautiful pink blush over the plants as they go dormant for a beautiful winter display! Tiny flowers appear in the spring that pollinators adore, even if they aren't that showy. Friendly and fun, this is a carefree plant you won't have to worry about. It will look great for you year-round. Where the plant bumps up against a vertical brick wall or cement barrier it will grow up or can be trained on a shorter trellis. These plants grow about 2 feet in height but can spread 3-4 feet wide! Planting and Application: Adding a splash of sunny color adds a tremendous amount of curb appeal. Plant in full sun for the best color and give it room to spread. As wonderful groundcover specimens and edging, you will have fuss-free alternatives to some more high-maintenance shrubs. As a design idea, you might place a single Emerald 'N Gold Wintercreeper on either side of your front door or use it as the "spiller" in decorative planters. Plant them in a modern or colorful decorative container for a unique focal point! A colorful broadleaved evergreen typically used as a groundcover or plant for massing. Use it as a foundation planting to spotlight special architectural features without overwhelming your house. They'll perk up a tired foundation hedge or evergreen hedge as a facer plant to hide the bare leggy stems of older shrubs. This is a complimentary color for hot pink, so consider planting a bright row to line a garden bed filled with pink varieties of Oso Easy® or Knock Out® Roses. As a utilitarian workhorse, this year-round green and gold broadleaf evergreen is ideal for erosion control on slopes and hard-to-mow hillsides, filling trickier areas with the hardiness that the Wintercreeper family boasts!

In the colder zones, the plants will appreciate protection from winter winds. But in warmer zones, the plants will appreciate afternoon shade. Plant this absolute beauty in full sun and rich, well-drained soil for the best growth possible! Adding a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch at the base helps keep moisture levels even. It seems the only thing that really upsets Emerald 'N Gold is having wet feet in soggy soil! You can prune your shrub back in the spring, either shearing or cutting off winter dieback. It's the epitome of low maintenance! Give shrubs in zone 5 a good anti-desiccant and a good drink in the fall to keep them from drying out throughout the winter.
