I have a variagated euonymus and ivy in different parts and aspects of my garden. Both have leaves which are tinged with pink. Is this normal? Have tried to find an answer on the WWW but nothing found.
Thanks for your response Bee. The link goes to a missing page, regretfully. I noticed the ivy going pink in July/August and thought it was due to lack of water so started to water it. The euonymus is in quite a dry place too but this has gone pink since we have had wet weather. Neither look like the are dying but not attractive really!
Hi Lizzybusy ...... if you copy and paste the whole link it will send you to the page. For some reason the software on this site has not added the end bit as a part of the link.
I expect they will both perk up in Spring. Bee x

In my town there's a little bed planted with Euonymus 'Emerald n Gold' and Hebe 'Red Edge'. In the winter it's really pretty as the Euonymus takes on a pinkish tinge the same tone as the Hebe.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Thanks Bee. It's not that type though. It's a light green leaf with white but don't think I have a label for it. Maybe Gaiety? Hope the plants recover next spring and hope we have a wetter summer. Never thought I would ever say that as since 1976 I have been hoping for a decent summer. I never had a garden in 1976. Be careful what you wish for, they say!

This is not unusual for euonymus .... see below.

I think it also happens with some types of ivy.
Nothing to worry about .... it's just the cold.
