Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald Gaiety'

Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald Gaiety' is a popular, small, bushy evergreen shrub bearing rounded, lustrous green leaves with a white margin, tinged pink in winter. In May and June it bears clusters of insignificant, green flowers.

It makes excellent groundcover and also makes a good foil for more ornamental flowering shrubs. It can climb if planted against a wall and given support.

Grow Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald Gaiety' in moist but well-drained border in sun or partial shade. Cut back growth by one-third in the first spring after planting to encourage a bushy habit, and remove any plain green reverted stems whenever seen.
