This remarkable variety stands out with its elongated, leathery leaves that dance with a dramatic, silvery veining, reminiscent of delicate frost patterns etched by winter itself.

It’s not just a climber; this versatile plant also thrives as a ground cover, spreading a carpet of ghostly beauty across garden floors, weaving through beds and borders with ease.

Beyond its visual appeal, Euonymus 'Wolong Ghost' is celebrated for its hardiness and low maintenance needs, thriving in a variety of conditions and resisting the challenges posed by pests and diseases. Whether used to enhance the structure of a winter garden or to provide year-round interest with its evergreen charm, 'Wolong Ghost' is an unparalleled choice for gardeners seeking a blend of exotic beauty and practicality. Let this stunning cultivar haunt your garden with its unique charm and watch as it transforms your landscape into a scene of enchanting woodland mystique.

A show-stopping, leathery rich evergreen trailing shrub-like vine, Euonymus fortunei 'Wolong Ghost' promises to deliver a dramatic backdrop for any landscape with eye-catching white veining. Its moderate growth rate is slower than other Wintercreepers, great for erosion control of any area in a variety of environmental conditions including slopes, a wide pH range, poor soils, and anything from dense shade to full sun.

The deep green shiny, egg-shaped leaves are 1 to 2 1/2 inch long. Some select Wolong because of her willingness to tolerate moderate amounts of salt and foot traffic, though the latter is not encouraged.

Things To Note
Wolong Ghost is invasive and should be planted in contained areas or spaces where you don't mind her taking over.

General information about Euonymus fortunei (Wintercreeper):
If you want something similar to Ivy, but different, this plant will be a perfect fit for you. Euonymus fortunei, often referred to as Wintercreeper or even Fortune’s Spindle, is an elegant, understated woody evergreen vine native to China, Korea, and Japan.

It is excellent for slopes and erosion control. Stems root along nodes, spreading indefinitely as a sprawling, tangled, bushy carpet somewhat similar in appearance to Vinca from a distance. Similar to ivy, using small rootlets on stems to climb, Wintercreeper reaches heights up to 65 feet in her attempts to gain more sunlight.

Its approach to climbing is not the only character trait Wintercreeper shares with Ivy. Both ivy and Wintercreeper have a sterile, juvenile, non-flowering, climbing, (or creeping) phase. After growing tall enough to reach the crowns of trees, Wintercreeper develops into an adult. This flowering phase does not have climbing rootlets. The (1 to 2 1/2 inch long and 1/2 to 1 1/2 inch broad) leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, elliptic to elliptic-ovate, with a finely serrated margin.

The flowers are inconspicuous (1/8 inch in diameter), with four small greenish-yellow petals, and the fruit, if any, are four-lobed, pale green pod-like berries. Inside each lobe is a single fleshy-coated orange seed. In the end, the rich emerald to bright green foliage is the real show stopper offering the benefit of climbing for rock walls, topiaries, arbors and more.

Gardener Tips
Euonymus fortunei responds beautifully to an early spring pruning, some elect to mow it on a high setting to keep a tidy appearance.
