Euonymus Fortunei 'Coloratus' is a fast and very fast growing groundcover plant that can be grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 4A through 9B. It matures to an average height of 1 inch to 1 foot and an average width of 4 feet to 6 feet, depending on climate and other environmental factors. It prefers growing in a location that provides full sun, shade, morning sun with afternoon shade, morning shade with afternoon sun or filtered sun and grows best when planted in sand, loam, clay or silt soil that is well drained. It attracts visual attention and is resistant to deer, drought, insects, diseases and heat.
Purple Winter Creeper can be useful in the landscape in mass plantings, in foundation plantings, in containers or planters, as a border or edger, around decks, swimming pools, and other outdoor living areas, under a shade tree, as a groundcover, in landscape beds or islands, for erosion control or grown flat against a wall and also in rock or xeriscape gardens or theme gardens.
Purple Winter Creeper is one of the toughest groundcovers we've found. It will tolerate severe drought, severe heat or cold, and full sun or full shade. It has no insect or disease problems and deer and other animals don't like it.
In addition to its toughness, Purple Winter Creeper is a quite attractive vining plant. The handsome deep green foliage turns to burgundy-purple during the cool season, providing outstanding color in the winter landscape.
Purple Winter Creeper is an excellent choice for use under large shade trees or decks, where not much else will grow. It performs equally as well to cover a roadside ditch. If allowed, it will climb stone, brick, or stucco walls.
