Description

Euonymus fortunei is an evergreen vine or shrub. If this plant is used as a shrub, its branches will trail and sometimes root; if allowed to climb, it will form a spreading mass to 20' or more. Rich, deep green leaves are 1"-2.5" long, with scalloped-toothed edges. The flowers are inconspicuous.

Water Saving Tip:

Give your sprinkler system a checkup when turning it on in the spring and occasionally during the summer.

Trim branches that are obstructing spray patterns and raise sprinklers that are too low for spray to clear the grass.
