Euonymus (Shrub form)

A versatile Euonymus shrub with variegated green and gold evergreen leaves.

The "Light Up the Shade" Shrub

Variegated Euonymus (often called Wintercreeper shrub) is the easiest way to add brightness to a dark corner. Its glossy, evergreen leaves are splashed with gold, silver, or white, providing "sunshine" even on cloudy days. It forms a dense, mounding shrub that can be climbed or kept as a bush, adding reliable structure to the garden.

Why You Need It:

  • Year-Round Color: The bright variegated foliage stays colorful all winter.
  • Toughness: Tolerates poor soil, pollution, and deep shade.
  • Versatile: Use it as a groundcover, low hedge, or climber.

Planting Tips:

Thrives in Sun or Shade (though colors are often brighter with some sun). It is incredibly adaptable and drought-tolerant once established.
