Description

Euonymus fortunei is an evergreen vine or shrub. If this plant is used as a shrub, its branches will trail and sometimes root; if allowed to climb, it will form a spreading mass to 20' or more. Rich, deep green leaves are 1"-2.5" long, with scalloped-toothed edges. The flowers are inconspicuous.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
