Pachysandra terminalis 'Green Sheen' forms whorls of glossy, leathery foliage topped with white flowers in spring. Japanese spurge is one of the toughest and most useful evergreen groundcovers for most North American climate zones. Plants are slow to establish but eventually will spread by underground rhizomes into a dense, attractive, impervious carpet.

Rugged, glossy evergreen ground cover for the shade, this baby delivers! Spreading by rhizomes and 8-12” tall, dense enough to preclude weeds. We plant them 12-18” apart for a tight, light eflecting tapestry. Will thrive in moderately well drained soils (but also survives clay) with regular moisture;can take periods of dryness once established. Enjoys shade, even full shade. Tiny white flowers at tips in spring. Deer and critter resistant.
