Pachysandra
Pachysandra terminalis
Excellent Ground Cover For Problem Areas!
Excellent in masses under heavy shade of trees. A dense, lustrous
evergreen, trailing vine-type of ground cover, white flowers, spring. If planted
6" apart, it will give a pleasing effect immediately and in two years time form
a solid ground cover. Grows in any soil. Water liberally. It is VERY HARDY.
Grows in sun or shade, to a uniform height of 6". Fine for terraces or any place
where grass is not successful.
Zone: 4-9
Height: 6 Inches
Remember this about pachysandra: The first year it sleeps, the second year it creeps, and the third year it leaps. It takes a year to get established before spreading out. It will make a thick, dense bed and is the perfect solution around tree trunks and where sunlight is scarce and mowing difficult.

MAINTENANCE: Pachysandra are planted 6-12 inches apart in spring in prepared
soil with organic matter added. Top dress planted beds yearly with compost
and/or fertilizers. Prune back or mow in spring whenever plantings need to be
renovated. During dry periods water by giving a 1 inch soaking, rather than
light sprinklings. Newly planted pachysandra requires mulch, but it grows so
quickly after the first year that not much, if any mulch is required later.
