Pachysandra t. 'Green Sheen'
{50 Bare Root plants}
(AKA Shiny Leaf Pachysandra)
This maintenance-free ground cover is one of the most popular ground covers. Pachysandra terminalis 'Green Sheen' is an excellent ground cover for problem areas as it grows in just about any soil and is one of the few ground covers that will grow under pine trees.
The evergreen, 1 1/2" - 4" oval leaves are lightly toothed on the edge. What makes 'Green Sheen' Pachysandra so special is the tremendous glossiness to the dark green foliage. The sheen is so impressive you think it can't be real. Once you see 'Green Sheen' you will never mistake it for other cultivars. Small white flowers appear in Spring and early Summer.

Spreads slowly to moderately fast by underground rhizomes. Prefers well drained, organically rich loam and shade. Will tolerate some sun in northern zones, needs shade in southern zones. Tolerates heat and humidity better than other Pachysandras. Excellent ground cover for shady areas. Overexposure to sun may cause this plant to suffer and turn yellow. Mature height 6" - 12", spacing 4" - 8".
Japanese Spurges are evergreen the year round, are self-sustaining and always look good. Once established, a Pachysandra planting will eliminate grass cutting and weeding. Your lawn work stops where this plant starts. This plant is used extensively under large spreading trees, back of buildings or in other situations too shady for grass to grow. Pachysandra will transform otherwise bare and ugly ground areas into attractive year-round cover. It is also very effective as a border plant along paths or driveway edgings and can be used as a lawn substitute in shaded non-traffic areas. Please note that Pachysandra often takes most of the first season getting established, spreading will tend to be extremely slow the first season and will commence the second season.
