Euonymus fortunei: evergreen for low hedges and ground cover

Euonymus fortunei, also known as wintercreeper, is a strong evergreen garden plant for low hedges, ground cover and structured planting. It stays compact, responds well to pruning and is available in green and variegated varieties.

Green varieties such as ‘Radicans’ give a calm, dense look, while variegated types such as ‘Emerald ’n Gold’ and ‘Emerald Gaiety’ add extra leaf colour. Plant Euonymus in sun, partial shade or light shade. Read our Euonymus fortunei care guide for more tips on pruning, position and choosing varieties.
