This winter hardy evergreen stands proud at a diminutive size.

Whether you call it Fortune’s Spindle or Wintercreeper, you will enjoy the woody evergreen beauty of this native of East Asia. Most varieties feature sturdy beautifully variegated foliage in a compact 1 – 2 foot high shrub.

Hardy in zones 5 – 8 in areas that offer full or partial shade. A solid performer in most soils except consistently wet areas. Pruning is best done in fall, when the Wintercreeper can handle a heavy pruning as necessary to achieve the look you desire.
