Pachysandra terminalis 'Green'
a/k/a Pachysandra, Japanese Pachysandra, or Spurge.
Zone 4 to Zone 9, partial shade to deep shade.
Medium-sized, 6 to 10 inch high; evergreen groundcover.
Lightly toothed, leathery, oval leaves; low growing, shrubby, clump is topped by small white, mildly fragrant flower clusters in the late spring.
Prefers a moist, well-drained, acidic, rich soil, but is tolerant of periodically dry soils, once established. Excellent performer in partial shade, full shade, or very deep shade, and will tolerate some sun in cooler climates.
Use as a groundcover under shrubs or trees, as a border plant, or in mass plantings, grows in the shade even where grass does not grow. Lush foliage is beautiful year-round; but it is intolerant of foot traffic. Plant 6 inches to 12 inches apart and incorporate light mulch. Forms a solid mass as it slowly spreads by underground rhizomes. Prune to encourage new growth. PLANTING: Space 6 to 10 inches apart. Grow in soils with a pH range of 5.0 to 7.0. Plant in a moist, well-drained soil in semi-shade or shade. MAINTENANCE: Never allow soil to get excessively dry; otherwise, they require very little maintenance. |
