Notes
'Silver Queen' winter creeper (Euonymus fortunei 'Silver Queen') is a shrub for ground cover, borders, 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 stays evergreen and tolerates drought and salt. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Bees and birds visit it, and it grows at a rapid pace.
Pairs well with Dawn viburnum, Bressingham White bergenia, and Sibirica red-barked dogwood.
