Easy Euonymus Wintercreeper

» suitewoman - Tx Kenneth, I just got 2 of these starter plants

and was looking up on internet where would be best to plant them in my yard. Most articles that I read were favorable, although one article indicated otherwise. That same article called this evergreen creeper a noxious misfit. Claims once planted will take over everything where it is planted.

I read your well-written article, as I had hoped to take cuttings to grow more and use in a large ground covering. Your instructions are helpful.

Call me naively foolish, but even after reading up on the creeping vine aspect of the plant, I placed the 2 I bought in my new herb garden....mistake? If so, I still have time to move them somewhere else. My thought was to keep them contained and pruned and confined as a border to the herb garden. Am I setting up a take over of the entire herb garden with these 2 creepers?

These plants are really not very aggressive. I don't know why the opposition to this wonderful shrub. Every spring, and every fall, they create new growth, but using 1/2 hour per year (!!) you can keep them contained. It is really not a very aggresive shrub, and certainly does not deserve the name "noxious".. That is my opinion.

Thanks Kenneth, your advice is reassuring. I will leave my 2 little starter plants right where they are then and let them grow into the sidewalk ground covering as I envisioned. Appreciate your response.
