Abstract
Wintercreeper was introduced from China in the early 1900s as an ornamental plant, valued for its evergreen leaves and vigorous growth. Unfortunately, it easily escapes the confines of the garden and outcompetes native vegetation for space, light, nutrients, and moisture in woodland settings. Once established, wintercreeper can be hard to eradicate and management of small patches is much easier than waiting until the infestation has spread.
