Pachysandra terminalis (Japanese Spurge) is a low-growing, evergreen groundcover plant with glossy, dark green foliage. This versatile perennial is perfect for shaded areas where other plants might struggle, forming a dense carpet that suppresses weeds and enhances the beauty of any garden. Its leathery, evergreen leaves remain vibrant throughout the year, even during the colder months.
In spring, Pachysandra terminalis produces small, fragrant white flowers that form in dense spikes. These blooms add a soft touch to the dense foliage, making this plant an excellent choice for shaded garden beds, woodland gardens, or as an attractive edging plant. Its hardy nature and ease of care make it a popular choice for gardeners looking to add lush greenery to low-light areas.
