Euonymus fortunei 'Sarcoxie' – Sarcoxie Wintercreeper

Euonymus fortunei 'Sarcoxie' is a distinct cultivar of Wintercreeper grown for its more upright, shrubby habit and solid deep green foliage. Unlike the spreading ground cover forms, 'Sarcoxie' grows 3–4 feet tall and wide, making it useful as a low hedge, foundation plant, or specimen. It can also be trained as a small climber. The leaves are glossy, oval, and evergreen.

'Sarcoxie' shares the species' adaptability: sun to shade, various soils, drought tolerance. It is often used where a more formal, structured evergreen is needed. It responds well to shearing. The many synonyms (E. fortunei var. radicans, E. radicans, etc.) reflect its long cultivation history and taxonomic confusion. A sturdy, green, multi-purpose evergreen for structure in the landscape.
