Wintercreeper Emerald Gaiety is an appropriate nickname, as this sturdy evergreen stays low to the ground, rooting where its stems touch the ground. Well-suited for sunny hillsides, Emerald Gaiety will also drape over the edges of container planters and hanging baskets. Usually a deep green highlighted by white edges in the spring and summer, the foliage takes on pinkish tones in the fall and winter, adding a brightness to the garden. Valued for its year-round foliage, Emerald Gaiety does produce inconspicuous greenish white flowers in the summer.
