Zone: 4PURPLELEAF WINTERCREEPER
Euonymus fortunei 'Coloratus' is commonly referred to as a purple wintercreeper euonymus. It is a dense, woody-stemmed evergreen or semi-evergreen groundcover plant that features shiny, leathery, dark green leaves that turn an attractive reddish purple in fall. It primarily trails along the ground and typically grows to about 12-15 inches tall and will spread indefinitely by rooting stems. It may flower if allowed to climb a wall or tree as it assumes a more vine-like habit.
Purple Wintercreeper Euonymus is easy to grow and thrives in full sun to part shade in average, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It can tolerate urban pollution and can thrive in city environments.

To help Euonymus fortunei 'Coloratus' settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil with an exposure ranging from full sun to deep shade. Euonymus 'Coloratus' is highly adaptable and drought-tolerant once established. While it tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, it prefers to avoid constantly waterlogged sites. Provide adequate space for growth, as this is a vigorous, spreading groundcover that can climb and expand rapidly; periodic pruning may be required to keep it contained within the desired area.
