Notes
'Emerald Surprise' winter creeper (Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald Surprise') is a climbing shrub. 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, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows at a rapid rate and blooms from early to late summer. Bees and birds visit it, and it tolerates salt. Deer tend to pass it by.
