Buy Pachysandra Terminalis for Sale at America’s Online Garden Center
Pachysandra plants are a favorite evergreen groundcover that grows well in hard-to-plant areas, such as under trees or in shady areas with poor or acidic soil. It grows 6-8" high (sometimes even 12”) and spreads by rhizomes to form a dense carpet of rich, dark green foliage. Oval leaves (2-4" long) appear primarily in whorls at the stem ends. When spring arrives, tiny white, terminal, and fragrant flowers bloom and can be 1-2" long. While they aren’t super showy, they are a welcoming sign of warmer weather and add dimension to the green sea of leaves that will spread throughout the garden. Some of the main benefits that gardeners appreciate include:
- Great for filling in any unused space in landscaping beds.
- Nice contrast of dark green foliage with tiny white flowers.
- Works well to keep down weeds.
- It grows well in shaded areas of a garden where other plants or grass may struggle.
- Helps to prevent soil erosion.
- Low maintenance groundcover.
- Makes an excellent planting partner with tall-limbed trees.
