I planted the evergreen variety of winter creeper as ground cover in a fairly shady area of my garden and many of my bulbs are not coming up this year. I have not seen my bleeding hearts or Canadians and usually I would by this time of year. What can I do to help them? Do I need to dig up the bulbs and plant them in a pot in the garden or cut away the creeper where the bulbs are? I appreciate your insight! Amy Wilbanks
Yes, the Wintercreeper may be an issue. It can smother out native plants and even kill shrubs and trees.
Moving your plants may be the easier option.

What is this on the bush, little white seed looking things? Should I get rid of these bushes?
This is Scale pests.

We have 2 different varieties of climbing evergreens by our porch. This year the yellow/green one seems to be putting out this terrible odor towards evening to the point where it seems their a million flies around and we've checked for any animals in their and nothing and if you smell it at nite it's awful everyone keeps asking whats that smell by the door. Any ideas what to do? Thankyou
Perhaps an infestation is attracting the flies.
Check for signs of pests or sticky substance coming from the plant.
Honeydew is the residue from pests and can attract ants and flies.

I have tons of Euonymus Fortune growing on a rental property and would like to use it to cover a relatively steep bank around the front half on my home … can I take cuttings from the existing plants and propagate them at home, with or without hormonal dust on the cuttings?
Taking semi-hardwood cuttings and stem layering are the two methods most often used to propagate golden euonymus (Euonymus fortune). A broadleaf evergreen shrub perennial in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 5 through 9), golden euonymus can be grown as a mounded shrub, ground cover or climbing vine

We have planted, in outdoor pots, several Euonymus kiautschovicus shrubs. Some of the leaves are turning yellow. Some have no spots just yellow other have marks I have attached photos. Thank you Rebecca Valentini
There are a few things that could be the issue here. You may have a nitrogen deficiency in the soil, an issue with dry or clay soils that won't retain enough water, or (funny enough) overly-wet soils. Make sure that you are fertilizing at least once a year if not just a few times. Alternatively, it may be changing due to cool weather, as this can happen if the nights are cool.

Hi I have a very mature Euonymus Fortunei ( Blondy) plant that seems to have a very large infestation of Euonymus Scale. Reading articles on the internet it suggests that the best way to deal with the problem is to cut it back. I do like the size of this plant and wondered if this is the only way to deal with it? What was to happen if I don't do anything to get rid of the infestation? and If I do need to cut it back by how much do I need to cut it back too? Will it look bizarre with new growth if it is cut back? Many thanks Stacy
Many times this species is very invasive, and can deal with a VERY heavy cutting back. Second, I would invest in some neem oil, as this will get rid of any remaining scale.
Here is a collection of articles on euonymous, and their care. Although it will give you information on many species, most of them have the same care requirements: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/euonymus/
This is euonymus.
