Harlequin Wintercreeper, also known as Spindle Harelquin, is an extremely showy, radiant, and attractive plant with many uses in the landscape or garden: as a groundcover, low border, climber of walls, or accent in small garden spaces and container gardens. The new foliage is often solid ivory-white, lighting up shady or sunny spaces. That said, in hot-summer climates, it might appreciate some filtered sun or shade during the afternoon hours when the sun is most intense. As the leaves age, they become more variegated white, generously speckled in dark green. With the arrival of cooler temperatures in fall, the narrow, oblong, leathery leaves take on a pink cast that lasts through winter into spring. Harlequin forms a spreading shrub to maybe 1 foot high and 3 feet wide or will climb up brick, stone, or wooden walls, fences, and other porous surfaces its aerial roots can cling to. You might be happy to know this low-maintenance shrub thrives in most any well-drained soil, sun or part shade, and the deer turn their nose up to it. Get all the details below
