Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald Gaiety': Wintercreeper – White-Variegated Evergreen Ground Cover

Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald Gaiety' – Emerald Gaiety Wintercreeper

Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald Gaiety' is a popular, versatile cultivar of Wintercreeper. It features small, oval, evergreen leaves boldly edged in creamy white, creating a bright, variegated effect. It can be grown as a low, spreading ground cover (6–12 inches tall) or trained as a climber on walls and trellises. It rarely flowers or fruits in cultivation.

'Emerald Gaiety' is exceptionally adaptable, tolerating full sun to deep shade, a wide range of soils, urban pollution, and drought once established. It is a workhorse for difficult sites: under trees, on slopes, in parking lot islands. It can be sheared to maintain a neat height. Watch for euonymus scale. A reliable, year-round variegated evergreen for almost any landscape situation.
