About Japanese Spurge Groundcover

Pachysandra terminalis is a versatile, low-growing evergreen ground cover that excels in challenging shady environments. It features glossy, dark green leaves arranged in attractive whorls at the stem tips, creating a dense, uniform carpet that suppresses weeds effectively. Spreading via underground rhizomes, it reaches about 6 to 12 inches in height. Ideal for underplanting trees or stabilizing slopes, it thrives in moist, acidic, well-drained soils while resisting deer and heavy shade.
