Wolong Ghost Euonymus Plant

The Wolong Ghost Euonymus Plant is a most unusual ground cover. Its dark, glossy green leaves can appear almost black at times, but are always highlighted by silvery etched midribs and veins. This evergreen is tolerant of relatively deep shade, is remarkably care free once well established and non-aggressive or invasive. Plant this creeper as a showy groundcover in places that are hard to maintain or let it gently twine around the taller flowers and Hosta's in your shaded garden.

Planting Instructions:
