Euonymus 'Harliquin'

essex, England

hi there, does anyone know the middle bit of the name(Spec)? i am Guessing it's not japonica as they are usually larger..this one has small leaves speckled green and cream, and i think will climb up my wall, and sprawl along the ground, it is quite shrubby and evergreen, but i think ground cover type... i have looked it up in the RHS guide but it's not listed - must be a new one.

I think it may be 'fortunei' which is a dwarf evergreen creeping vine and has variegated leaves. Euonymus fortunei 'Harlequin'

Yes, the species is definitely fortunei. It is named after Robert Fortune (1812-1880), a plant explorer in the Far East for nearly twenty years
