This evergreen plant can be used as a ground cover, trained to climb walls or fences, or used in containers. Its low maintenance requirements make it an easy-to-care-for option for gardeners who want a plant that can thrive in a variety of environments. Once established, the Purpleleaf Wintercreeper is drought-tolerant and relatively pest and disease-resistant. Its unique purple foliage can intensify in colder temperatures, making it a great option for winter interest.

Care Guide

  • Watering: Purpleleaf Wintercreeper refers consistently moist soil, so water deeply and regularly, especially during hot and dry spells. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
  • Pruning: You can prune Purpleleaf Wintercreeper in early spring before new growth emerges or in late summer after the first flush of growth has slowed down.
