The vibrant Sunrise Wintercreeper Euonymus. Imagine a low-spreading evergreen that brings a burst of sunny color to your landscape, especially when other plants are sleeping! The new growth emerges with a brilliant golden-yellow hue, gradually maturing to a rich, deep green, offering a delightful two-toned effect throughout the seasons.
This versatile groundcover typically reaches about 1-2 feet tall and spreads 2-4 feet wide, making it perfect for covering slopes, cascading over walls, or adding a cheerful touch to borders and foundation plantings. The Sunrise Wintercreeper thrives in full sun to partial shade, so it's quite adaptable to different areas in your yard. Plus, euonymus are generally not a favorite snack for deer, which is always a welcome trait for us Arizona gardeners.
To give your Sunrise Wintercreeper the best start and encourage its colorful growth, I recommend amending the soil with Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food when planting. Follow this with a layer of Watters Premium Mulch around the base to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the roots, especially during our hotter months. This cheerful and easy-to-care-for evergreen will bring year-round color and texture to your garden!
