Euonymus fortunei 'Wolong ghost'

A new and rare, evergreen ground cover plant, Euonymus fortunei 'Wolong ghost'  has narrow, dark green leaves with conspicuous silvery-white markings along their veins.

Established plants will form a dense mat if left to their own devices, but interestingly Euonymus fortunei 'Wolong ghost' can also be trained to grow nearly as a climbing plant up a supporting cane, trellis, etc. We have grown one of these over an old stump in our arboretum and it looks very good.
