The Euonymus fortunei ‘Silver Carpet’ is a dwarf variety of evergreen and creeping spindle. The bush develops beautiful dark green foliage edged with white, giving a silvery-grey impression, present all year round. In winter, this decorative foliage takes on a pink hue. Always neat in appearance, it can cover the base of trees, slopes, borders, or cascade over the front of flower pots. Its branches, equipped with climbing roots, easily cling to walls, similar to ivy but without becoming invasive. It can therefore scramble as well as climb on a surface. Very tolerant of soil and exposure, it does, however, dislike arid conditions.
Native to Asia and northern China, the Euonymus fortunei is a slow-growing ground cover shrub from the Celastraceae family, perfectly hardy and tolerant of limestone in the soil. The ‘Silver Carpet’ variety is appreciated for its beautiful, bright, vigorous, and dense vegetation, decorative all year round. At maturity, this cultivar does not exceed 35 cm in height and 60 cm in width. It develops flexible branches that have the ability to cling to their support on their own thanks to climbing roots. The evergreen leaves, elliptical and 3 to 4 cm long, are crenate, dark green with a wide cream-white border that does not fade in the sun. At the first signs of cold, they take on a delicate pinkish hue. In spring, insignificant flowering occurs on the new shoots, in the form of small clusters of white-greenish flowers. They give way to decorative pink berries, but they are not edible and are appreciated by birds.
Euonymus fortunei ‘Silver Carpet’ grows in well-drained soil, in non-arid conditions, preferably semi-shaded. In the ground, it can be used as a ground cover for borders, at the front of flower beds, with the purple foliage of heucheras, for example. It can also be placed in pots for balconies and terraces, where the plant cascades beautifully. This spindle, which is entirely toxic to humans, attracts birds. It is possible to let it climb slightly along a wall, fence, or even a tree, up to its height limit.
Tips: In case of drought, water to maintain beautiful foliage.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
