It can be used as a low groundcover or hedge in full sun or part shade, with moist, well-drained soil. The bright leaf margins carry color through the growing season, then take on a warmer seasonal tint as temperatures cool. Kew accepts Euonymus fortunei in the family Celastraceae.

Trim the mounding edge to keep it within its intended bed. NC State Extension lists E. fortunei as invasive in some regions and notes its ability to root along stems, so check local guidance and keep runners away from natural areas.
