Euonymus fortunei ‘Kewensis’
Euonymus fortunei 'Kewensis' forms an evergreen creeping mat of small mid to dark green oval leaves with lighter veins.
An uncommon yet darling little ground cover, Euonymus fortunei ‘Kewensis’ forms an evergreen creeping mat of small mid to dark green oval leaves with lighter veins. The stems root in as they travel reaching only 1-3 inches high but spreading indefinitely. If plants meet an obstacle, they may grow around it, up and over it, or even climb straight up it. Great for erosion control. This is a wonderful textural ground cover well worth growing that can grow successfully from sun to shade.
