Wintercreeper (Euonymus fortunei var. radicans 'Emerald Gaiety')
I bought some of these thinking they were for shade. I see the db says partial shade or full sun. If I plant them in mostly shade, what will they do? I don't mind if they stay smaller or do not grow as fast. But I don't want them to die of course. Does anyone have these in mostly shade?
Depends on the shade level. I've had some growing and expanding for years in full shade, forming a thick mat over time. Be warned though that they will want to grow up tree trunks. You might have to corral them with a trim every year.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we can't eat money. Cree proverb
I want them to grow up a chain link fence to hide it. I think it will get bright light, even though not direct sun for at least the last 1/2 of the day.
I have this plant growing up a locust tree right next to a large maple. I would have to say it gets no direct sunlight . I does however grow slowly, most likely due to poor light.
In bright shade, winter creeper can grow up to a couple feet per year or more. Not quite as fast as ivy.
