Notes
'Emerald Gaiety' winter creeper (Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald Gaiety') is a shrub for borders, hedges, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It is evergreen, climbs, and grows at a rapid rate. Deer tend to pass it by. Bees and birds visit it, and it tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Autumn fern, Prairie dropseed, and Hummingbird's mint.
