Notes
Emerald n Gold winter creeper (Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald 'n Gold') is a shrub for borders, containers, hedges, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and dry to moist soil of most types. It is evergreen, tolerates salt, and grows at a rapid rate. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Bees, butterflies, and birds visit it.
Pairs well with Autumn fern, Bridal wreath spiraea, and Little brown jug.
