Pachysandra terminalis, commonly called Japanese pachysandra, is a shrubby, evergreen ground cover. This perennial is mature at 4 in. tall and 8 in. wide. It spreads by rhizomes to form a dense carpet of rich, dark green foliage. Pachysandra thrives in the shade under large trees. This is a low maintenance evergreen groundcover. It is the perfect choice for erosion control, slopes and landscape. Plant will be shipped in dormant state potentially from fall to early spring (metabolic inactivity-shredded foliage and minimal branches).
