Coloratus Euonymus is a dense trailing evergreen perennial that creates a bushy mat of glossy dark green leaves that turn purple in fall and winter.  Inconspicuous white flowers are sparse if even present when grown as a groundcover, but more abundant if allowed to climb.  Grows best in moist, well-drained soils.   Can be an aggressive spreader, especially if allowed to climb.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Medium Maintenance.   Anthracnose, leaf spot, powdery mildew, crown gall, and aphids can be problems.  Euonymus scale can be a significant problem if not treated.  Can spread aggressively where stems touch ground.

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Garden, Naturalized Areas, Foundational Plantings, Espaliers, and Hedges.

COMPANION PLANTS: Daylily, Echinacea, Weigela
