Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald Gaiety' is a dense, mounding evergreen shrub with variegated foliage, ideal for use as a low hedge or foundation plant. Drought-tolerant, heat-tolerant, and easy to grow, Emerald Gaiety Euonymus features deep emerald green leaves with white margins, giving the shrub a cool-toned appearance. The foliage develops a reddish-pink hue during the colder winter months, adding seasonal interest. As a slow grower, it can eventually reach up to 5 feet tall and 3 feet wide, though it can easily be pruned to maintain the desired size or shape.

Emerald Gaiety Wintercreeper offers versatility in garden design. It can be a formal low hedge or informal border, sheared into topiary forms, or used for erosion control, as its stems can root when they touch the ground. This rooting characteristic makes it particularly useful on slopes or in areas prone to soil erosion. Its adaptability, combined with low-maintenance care, makes Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald Gaiety' an excellent choice for a wide variety of landscape settings.
