Ivy alternatives

Wintercreeper ~ also known as spindle tree (lat. Euonymus fortunei 'coloratus' or 'radicans') ~ has a rather weak growth habit that makes it an ideal alternative to English ivy for greening the base of walls. It is evergreen, easy to maintain, and you won't have to worry about building damage. We have chosen varieties especially suited to facade greening; see below...
