Design Ideas Low growing shade loving groundcovers are perfectly adapted to conditions under tree canopies. Use to create a carpet beneath a grove of birch or a mixed composition of needled evergreens and broadleaf deciduous trees. Excellent choice for sun starved north side gardens or where overhead structures limit exposure. A real problem solver beneath large older shrubs with "bare legs". A good erosion control choice for shaded cut slopes and banks.
Flower Color Green
Foliage Color Variegated
Companion Plants This groundcover is ideal for beneath Nuccio's Bella Rossa Camellia, (Camellia japonica 'Nuccio Bella Rossa'), Marge Miller Camellia, (Camellia sasanqua 'Marge Miller') and cold hardy Winter's Fire Ice Angels Camellia, (Camellia hybrid 'Winter's Fire'). It's exceptional with Black Tulip Magnolia, (Magnolia x soulangiana 'JURmag1) and Wolf Eyes Dogwood, (Cornus kousa 'Wolf Eyes')
CARE
Care Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Control weeds until the plants have filled in. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer.
HISTORY
Lore In Europe, Euonymous shrubs were known as spindle trees because their branches were cut and used for spindle cores in early textile manufacturing.
