Pachysandra terminalis
Description
Pachysandra terminalis, commonly known as Japanese Spurge, is a popular ground cover plant known for its lush, evergreen foliage. It forms a dense mat of glossy, dark green leaves and is often used to cover shady areas where grass struggles to grow. In spring, it produces small, white, fragrant flowers that add a subtle beauty to its robust foliage.
Suggested Uses
Japanese Spurge is ideal for use as a ground cover in shaded garden areas, under trees, or in woodland gardens. It is also effective for erosion control on slopes and can be used in container gardening.
