Euonymus fortunei 'Coloratus' - Purple Wintercreeper Ground Cover (60 Pack)
Euonymus fortunei 'Coloratus', commonly known as Purple Wintercreeper, is a hardy evergreen ground cover ideal for large-scale landscaping projects. This bulk pack of 60 plants offers excellent value for covering extensive areas, slopes, and difficult garden spaces.
Key Features
This versatile ground cover features glossy, deep green leaves (1-2 inches long) that transform into striking reddish-purple tones during fall and winter, providing year-round visual interest. The compact growth habit reaches 10-25cm in height while spreading indefinitely through rooting stems, creating a dense, weed-suppressing mat similar to English ivy.
Growth Characteristics
Euonymus fortunei 'Coloratus' demonstrates rapid growth and exceptional adaptability. The plant spreads by rooting along nodes, quickly forming dense coverage that controls erosion on slopes and hillsides. When encountering vertical surfaces, it can climb walls, fences, or structures using its trailing vine-like growth. Inconspicuous greenish-white flowers may appear in early summer, occasionally followed by purple-pink berries in autumn.
Planting Applications
This bulk quantity is perfect for large area coverage, foundation plantings, border edging along paths and sidewalks, slope stabilization, and areas not easily accessed for maintenance. The plants thrive in full sun to full shade conditions and adapt to various soil types, making them suitable for challenging garden locations where other plants struggle.
Care Requirements
Once established, this low-maintenance ground cover requires minimal care. It tolerates drought, adapts to a wide pH range, and grows in average, well-drained soils. No shearing or regular maintenance is required, though optional spring pruning maintains shape and encourages denser growth. The plants support biodiversity by providing shelter for beneficial insects and pollinators throughout the year.
