Re: groundcovers
Speaking of Euonymous fortunei....I just got my order of Eounymous
fortunei 'Harlequin'. If you've never seen it, seek it out. It's
fantastic. All the new growth is white, slowly turning to dark green.
I bought one last year at a huge nursery and just got my own 36 plants
the other day. I'm so pleased with the coloration of this strain that I
ordered 36 more.
It would be a dandy in a large drift!
