Euonymus Fortunei 'Emerald Gaiety'

@brightcolours I was doing some work on the flowers next to this and decided to start trimming it back. It's a horrible matted mess. It's branches are almost vine like. Twisting on itself and creeping along the ground. I'm going to have to wait until someone can assist me in cutting it out this weekend.

You're going to give it a hard prune or remove completely?

@brightcolours at first it was just going to be a prune. After seeing how messy it is, it's coming out.

Beautiful #verigated leaves

Looks like Euonymus Jessie 💚💚

Help me identify this plant. I don't even know where to begin with this. It's beautiful, but out of control #plantid

Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald Gaiety' 😀

Grown for its foliage rather than the flowers. So prune now if you'd like.

@brightcolours I haven't even noticed any flower buds yet, I'll keep an eye out now. Thanks!

Just read this. 😳 Hope it's not invasive in your part of the USA. www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?kempercode=c206 #weedy #weedy-USA

@brightcolours I'm right outside one of the counties on the map. I'm not surprised it invasive. It is creeping along the ground. I've found so many flowers growing under bushes, I wouldn't be surprised if when I cut this back I find more.
