This is mixed in a bed with vinca minor, I just recently realized that its a different plant. There is also a clump growing alone that is almost bush like. It is evergreen, sends up shoots that stand 8-12" above the vinca minor and will grow up a tree but doesn't seem to cling.![]() ![]() |

Could be a Euonymus, possibly fortunei. Sunset Zone 28, AHS Heat Zone 9, USDA zone 8b~"Leaf of Faith" |

Thank you all, that's it...now I just have to get rid of it!! |

Personally, I would get rid of the vinca as well. Both are invasive exotics. There's a lot of really cool plants that you can plant in that bed once the invasives are gone... |

Ha, maybe that's why the owners sold the house. They wanted to get away from the invasives! Sunset Zone 28, AHS Heat Zone 9, USDA zone 8b~"Leaf of Faith" |

Nope, not the reason she sold...but I'm about ready to, to get away from both of those PLUS the English Ivy, took me forever to pull all of it off of the house! ![]() |
