Your Moonshadow Wintercreeper Euonymus (Euonymus fortunei 'Moonshadow') is an adorable little shrub with a lot to offer for its diminutive size! Its broadleaf evergreen nature ensures that you'll enjoy its appearance year-round, and the decorative foliage will provide an added benefit over other small evergreens in your landscape!
When you see your Moonshadow, you'll immediately notice the foliage. Each oval, serrated leaf features a yellow center framed by glossy green. When the foliage is young, the yellow has a more muted appearance, darkening with age. This gives your Moonshadow a somewhat multi-toned appearance that will be a stand-out for your summer landscape!
Spring has tiny little greenish-yellow blooms that the pollinators will seek out, but they won't be that showy. When fall arrives, your Moonshadow stems turn red and the foliage takes on a pink tone. This dense, compact, and evergreen shrub tends to stay low and compact, with a somewhat rounded habit.
Planting and Application:
Moonshadow Euonymus is an evergreen shrub or creeper with ornamental foliage. Plant several as a low hedge, or just one as an accent for your perennial bed. These would also do well as container plants for your front porch.
Unlike some other varieties, Moonshadow will form a slow-growing mat that won't need to be pruned often to maintain its form. Create lovely little low hedges and garden-defining edging! Replace more troublesome hedging plants like Boxwood and Privet without having to shear and prune them to keep them in check. Or, plant them near a vertical support and they can be trained upwards if preferred. They love protection from winter winds in the colder zones and protection from the hot afternoon sun in the warmer zones.
Run a ribbon of color as a facer plant along your foundation planting or before an older hedge that may be getting leggy and have bare stems, covering them up with two-tone beauty. Shear into little balls and pot them up in fancy planters for a formal effect year-round!
- Beautiful Broadleaf Evergreen Foliage
- Unique Glossy Two-Toned Color
- Pinkish Fall Color
- Small, Dense & Compact
- Great Container Plant, Edging, Facer Plants & Year-Round Color
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Growing throughout a wide range of USDA growing zones from 4 to 8, Moonshadow is tolerant of most soil conditions (except overly moist), and grows in the sun or even a touch of shade. Plant in a well-drained location with regular moisture access. Once established, your shrub will become fairly drought-tolerant. These compact little gems won't need much maintenance and can be sheared or left to grow naturally after that first flush of growth in the spring. All plants love mulch around their roots.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate to Low Moisture
- Prune In Spring
- Virtually Pest & Disease-Free
For a low-maintenance evergreen shrub with exquisite foliage color year-round, it's hard to find a better plant than the dwarf Moonshadow Euonymus. No matter how limited your space, there's always room to enjoy some of Moonshadow's special beauty.
