Pachysandra or Japanese Spurge forms an attractive low patch of shiny dark-green leaves, bearing clusters of white flowers in spring. Excellent under trees and in nearly any other shady site. Tolerates poor soil, but slow to establish and spread. Space closely in order for plants to fill in reasonably quickly.

Once established Pachysandra looks great all year long. It can be a bit startling to see this evergreen ground-cover emerge from a snowdrift looking good as new.
