Pachysandra Ground Cover

Pachysandra is a solution plant for a very common landscape problem - too much shade.

Pachysandra terminalis, commonly known as Japanese Spurge, is a lush, evergreen ground cover prized for its ability to thrive in deep shade where other plants struggle. Its dense, spreading growth quickly forms a rich green carpet, making it an excellent choice for suppressing weeds and covering bare soil beneath trees and shrubs. In early spring, delicate white flower spikes emerge, adding a subtle elegance to the landscape. For added visual interest, the variegated form, Pachysandra terminalis ‘Variegata,’ offers striking green leaves edged in creamy white, brightening shady areas with its soft, dappled contrast. Low-maintenance and deer-resistant, Pachysandra terminalis is a reliable, enduring favorite for effortless ground coverage in difficult spaces.
