Pachysandra terminalis
This invaluable evergreen ground cover provides the perfect solution for shaded areas where other plants struggle. The glossy, dark green foliage creates dense mats that suppress weeds effectively, while the plant's spreading habit ensures excellent coverage with minimal maintenance.

Growing Tips
