Kewnsis Euonymus is a dense trailing evergreen perennial that creates a fine mat of pea-sized green leaves. Inconspicuous white flowers are sparse if even present when grown as a groundcover, but more abundant if allowed to climb. Grows best in moist, well-drained soils. Can be an aggressive spreader, especially if allowed to climb.
