Striking and unusual, evergreen vine, the dark green leaves veined in silvery white. Selected by Dan Hinkley from wild collections in China, this euonymous makes a good ground cover or, with age, a self-clinging vine for fence or wall. Sun to deep shade with some summer water. Brightens deep shade, even in a relatively dry spot. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5.

Deep green leaves are narrow and elongated with silvery white veins. This is a really nice low-growing groundcover that spreads fairly quickly to 3-4'. Collected in 1996 by Don Hinkley in Yunnan"sNature Preserve.

Showy silver veins on glossy dark-green leaves make this a fantastic groundcover (to 8-10"tall x 2'+); introduced by Heronswood from China's Wolong Nature Preserve. Sun/Med
