Pachysandra Terminalis - Dense Evergreen Ground Cover for Shade
Pachysandra terminalis, also known as Japanese spurge, is an ideal evergreen ground cover for shaded spots in the garden. Its dense, dark green foliage forms a lush carpet that suppresses weeds and provides year-round color and texture.

Key Benefits
This bulk pack of 60 Pachysandra terminalis plants provides excellent coverage for shaded areas where other plants struggle. The glossy, dark green foliage remains attractive throughout all seasons, creating a uniform carpet approximately 6-8 inches tall once established. These shade-tolerant plants spread naturally to form dense colonies, effectively suppressing weed growth while requiring minimal maintenance.
Ideal Growing Conditions
Pachysandra terminalis performs best in partial to full shade environments, making it perfect for planting under trees, along shaded pathways, woodland settings, and north-facing borders. The plants prefer rich, moist, well-drained soil with slightly acidic pH levels. They are particularly effective under shallow-rooted trees and in areas where grass struggles to grow.
Planting Guidelines
For optimal coverage, space plants 8-12 inches apart. At this spacing, 60 plants will cover approximately 30-50 square feet, achieving full coverage within 1-2 growing seasons. The plants spread via underground runners (rhizomes) to form a continuous mat of foliage. Water regularly during establishment, then they become relatively drought-tolerant once mature.
Low Maintenance Ground Cover
Once established, Pachysandra requires minimal care. The evergreen foliage provides year-round interest without the need for frequent pruning or deadheading. These hardy plants are naturally deer-resistant and pest-free, making them a reliable choice for landscaping projects. They work exceptionally well for erosion control on slopes and banks.
