Product Details
Zones: 4 - 8 (-20° F.)
Height: 4-6 in.
Spacing: 36 in.
Depth: plant with crown about 1/2" below the soil.
Spread: 36-60 in.

Foliage: evergreen, glossy green changing to purple in winter

Comments: This is an evergreen clinging vine or sub-shrub. Also, an excellent rambling ground cover, with 1" leaves that turn purplish in the fall and retain that color throughout the winter. Also suitable for slopes, beneath trees or cascading over walls. Hardy to -20 degrees F. Fibrous roots. These plants are very tolerant to most any condition they may encounter.

won't grow
Reviewed By: Wood (Floyd, Virginia)
We purchased 16 wintercreeper vines in the spring of 1998 and they haven't grown at all in 9 years! In fact, most of them aren't as big now as they were when we planted them! We put them on a bank in partial sun in fertile humus-rich soil.

Good cover

Have had good results with this cover in full shade, slow to get started but took off after a couple of years, it has been dry! Just reordered and intend to water this time!
