Creeping euonymus 'Emerald Gold'
FamilyCelastraceae
Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald Gold', or variegated creeping euonymus, is a versatile evergreen shrub distinguished by its green foliage edged with golden yellow, bright in all seasons, then punctuated with pinkish hues in winter under the effect of the cold. Its compact and rounded shape makes it an excellent choice for borders, low hedges, rockeries, or container cultivation. Its ability to cover the ground or lightly climb on structures depending on its environment gives it great flexibility in landscaping. Very easy to maintain, disease-resistant, and tolerant of various types of soil, 'Emerald Gold' is appreciated as much for its ornamental qualities as for its practical ones, bringing structure, color, and texture to landscape compositions. It remains decorative all year round and requires little intervention, making it a reliable ally for gardeners seeking a lasting touch of color.
