Pachysandra terminalis 'Green Sheen' is a low-growing, evergreen perennial plant that is native to Japan. It is a member of the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae). It is a more compact and less aggressive grower than the species plant, making it a good choice for smaller gardens.
Japanese spurge grows to a height of 6-12 inches and quickly spreads by underground rhizomes to a width of 24-36 inches. Glossy 1½" -4" leaves are oval, dark green, veined and lightly toothed at the ends. The flowers are small 1"-2" white spikes emerging in spring.
Japanese spurge prefers part shade to full shade. Morning sun in the North is okay, but Southern gardens need shade. Plant in moist, organically rich, loamy, well-drained soil. Not particularly drought-tolerant, so water as needed.
Versatile and easy-care groundcover, Pachysandra terminalis is a great option. The plant is attractive, drought-tolerant, and can be used in a variety of settings. Japanese spurge tolerates foot traffic and a popular choice for groundcover, ornamental borders and rock gardens.

Pachysandra terminalis 'Green Sheen'
Every one of my bare root Pachysandra has lived and thrived! Last May I ordered, received, and planted fifty of them. Every bare root plant was robust and healthy, and now, over ten months later, they are growing and spreading vigorously.

Great Pachysandra
Great service from ordering to delivery. Plants arrived on time, very well packed and were in great shape. They were planted two days later and are looking very perky. Mike was very helpful. I will be looking at this nursery for future plants.
