Pachysandra

Botanical Name: Pachysandra terminalis

Pachysandra plants are low-growing evergreen perennials used for ground cover in shady places. They grow slowly but surely via a network of underground runners. It makes a thick, dense bed and is the perfect solution to covering ground around tree trunks where sunlight is scarce and mowing difficult.
