Pachysandra Japanese Spurge

Pachysandra terminalis, or Japanese Spurge, is a classic evergreen groundcover valued for its thick, glossy green leaves and ability to form dense mats in shaded landscapes. It is widely used for filling difficult shaded areas, stabilizing soil on slopes, and creating low-maintenance green coverage under trees and shrubs.

Thrives in shade to partial shade with moist, well-draining soil. It is a low maintenance, evergreen, and shade-loving groundcover ideal for long-term landscape coverage.

Maintenance Tip:
Water regularly after planting and keep soil consistently moist during the establishment period. Once established, water during extended dry spells, especially in shaded areas. Lightly trim or edge back in early spring if plants become overgrown or uneven. Apply mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds, and avoid heavy disturbance once spread begins.
