Pachysandra Green Sheen 2 Litre Pot

Pachysandra terminalis ‘Green Sheen’ – Glossy Evergreen Groundcover for Shade

Pachysandra terminalis ‘Green Sheen’ is a superb evergreen groundcover, prized for its glossy, rich green foliage that remains attractive all year. With a low, spreading habit (15–20 cm tall), it forms dense carpets that suppress weeds and provide structure in difficult shady spots. In spring, delicate white flower spikes rise above the leaves, adding a touch of brightness to the dark foliage.

Its ability to thrive in dry shade beneath trees or along the north side of walls makes it invaluable in gardens where few other plants succeed. Low-maintenance and fully hardy (H7), it’s perfect for adding evergreen structure to tricky areas while keeping planting schemes neat and lush.
