Botanical nameEuonymus fortunei

Euonymus fortunei 'Coloratus' is an evergreen groundcover shrub highly prized for its hardiness and decorative foliage that changes with the seasons. It forms a dense, low-growing, spreading mat, ideal for slopes, borders, light undergrowth, and mass plantings where it effectively limits weed growth. Its dark green evergreen foliage becomes spectacular in autumn and winter, turning deep purplish-red, offering a striking visual interest during the cold season. With inconspicuous flowers in summer, it is primarily cultivated for the durability and beauty of its foliage. Very hardy and well-suited to Quebec's conditions, Euonymus fortunei 'Coloratus' is easy to maintain, tolerates partial shade, and is an excellent choice for structuring the garden year-round.
