Botanical nameEuonymus fortunei

Euonymus fortunei 'Sunrise' is a very decorative evergreen shrub, renowned for its warm and luminous variegated foliage that brings a vibrant touch to landscapes all year round. It forms a dense, spreading, and well-branched habit, making it an excellent shrubby groundcover for borders, embankments, rockeries, and mass plantings. Its dark green foliage, broadly edged with golden yellow and sometimes tinged with cream, maintains beautiful intensity and can take on slight pinkish hues in winter depending on exposure. Not very floriferous and discreet, it is primarily appreciated for the stability and visual impact of its evergreen foliage. Very hardy and well-suited to Quebec conditions, Euonymus fortunei 'Sunrise' is easy to maintain, tolerant, and ideal for sustainably structuring the garden with color and contrast.
