Notes
'Goldy' winter creeper (Euonymus fortunei 'Goldy') is a groundcover for borders, containers, and low maintenance planting. 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 grows at a rapid rate and stays evergreen, so it keeps its color all year. It sits low on the menu for deer. Bees and birds visit it.
Pairs well with Aureola Japanese forest grass, Sibirica red-barked dogwood, and Hardy geranium.
