The Japanese Spurge plant, Pachysandra terminalis, and also known as Pachysandra, is a shrubby, evergreen ground cover which grows 8-12" high and spreads by rhizomes to form a dense carpet of rich, dark green foliage. Oval leaves (2-4" long) appear primarily in whorls at the stem ends. Pachysandra can be used as a lawn substitute in shaded non-traffic areas and ground cover for shade areas. Plant 6 inches apart. This perennial plant needs partial shade to full shade to prosper.
