Euonymus fortunei 'Coloratus' - Purple Wintercreeper Ground Cover (40 Pack)
Euonymus fortunei 'Coloratus' is a hardy evergreen ground cover known for its glossy, deep green leaves that transform into striking reddish-purple tones during fall and winter months. This trailing shrub typically grows 10-25cm tall and spreads by rooting stems, forming a dense, weed-suppressing mat across your garden.
Key Features
This compact variety thrives in zones 4-9 and adapts to both full sun and full shade conditions. The dark green foliage provides year-round coverage, while the seasonal color change adds visual interest when most plants go dormant. Small greenish-white flowers may appear in early summer, though the main attraction remains the attractive foliage.
Versatile Garden Applications
Use 'Coloratus' as ground cover for large areas, hillsides, and slopes where erosion control is needed. Works well along pathways and sidewalks as an edger, in garden beds and borders, or as a foundation planting. The trailing growth habit allows it to climb walls and fences when vertical support is available. This bulk pack of 40 plants provides excellent coverage for landscaping projects.
Growing Conditions
Tolerates a wide range of soil types including average, well-drained soils. Once established, this drought-tolerant plant requires minimal maintenance and no regular watering except during severe drought. The woody-stemmed growth spreads quickly, similar to English ivy, making it ideal for areas not easily accessed for regular care.
Low Maintenance Care
Prune in early spring to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth if desired. Monitor for euonymus scale, though this variety shows good disease resistance overall. No shearing or intensive maintenance required, making it perfect for busy gardeners or commercial landscaping projects.

We grow in a natural way and only intervene when necessary, which can sometimes cause the plant to show minor imperfections. These often recover in your garden.
