| | | Variegated garden throw-out Can anyone help me put a name to this variegated, woody-stemmed scrambling plant, a relic from someone's pile of dumped garden junk?
I first came across it last May in an area notorious for being used as a dumping-ground, but assuming it wasn't established I just ignored it. The plant's still there and growing strongly, though, in amongst a tangle of brambles when I paid a return visit yesterday, so it must at least be able to survive a UK winter  Now all I've got to do is put a name to it
It's probably something that's used pretty commonly in tubs & hanging baskets, etc, and I'm sure I've seen it growing somewhere before, but I've been unable to do any better than that. And sorry for the poor quality of the photos; the light was awful and thanks to the brambles I couldn't get all that close |

| | | Re: Variegated garden throw-out I think it's Euonymus fortunei, var. Emerald Gaiety.

| | | Re: Variegated garden throw-out Looks like a Euonymus sp. but I can't be any more specific than that.
We've got a few in the garden, if only I kept the labels when I planted them

| | | Re: Variegated garden throw-out Thanks to Hedge Witch & Tiggrx; that ID looks to be spot on from the pictures I've managed to find on Google
The common name given for the plant is Wintercreeper, Euonymus fortunei cv. Emerald Gaiety, so that's another new one for the year's list |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
