Pachysandra Plant

Japanese Spurge is the most widely planted evergreen groundcover. Plants form 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.

Well done, sir! So many people describe the spread of ground covers as being invasive, or taking over, as if that was a deterrent. To me, that’s a benefit, and that’s what you highlight. Do some people want ground covers to be slow and not fill-in? Thank you for your well spoken, intelligent, and to the point video.

I plant these in planters and keep on my patio. Never put them on the ground for coverage. They are beautiful if contained.

Beautiful plant with glossy green leaves with small white flowers in the early Spring. Creates a dense green carpet in the shade where other ground covers fail to grow.. Highly recommended in the correct locations.

I love this plant. I wish they were even more aggressive as there are bare spots in the back of my house that still need covering.

At night, rats and opossums travel through it as do snakes. I’ve seen it for myself. You want that at the back of your house?

I love my pachyderm bed…it is looking shabby.. can I give it some fertilizer… it is over 30 years old

Mine is in a pot and is doing really well under a very large herb pot.

Without using chemicals, any suggestion for getting grass that is taking over areas of pachysandra? Thanks!

'Disease free'. Not so much - it is now susceptible to box blight.

Not native. Stop planting it.

worse plant ever,

[@jeffnewell2662]

Do you think it's the worst plant ever because you don't know where to planet ... it's a fantastic ground cover in the right place

[@nel6211]

@@jeffnewell2662 I don't like it because my neighbor planted it and now it's all over my yard. I rip it out as soon as it comes up.

@@nel6211 all you have to do is buy a plastic border strip and put it down in the ground and it'll stop from going into your yard
