Pachysandra terminalis ‘Green Sheen’
Blooming Time
Exposure
`Green Sheen’ pachysandra is substantially different than any other selection of this popular species. In fact, at first glance, you might not recognize it as pachysandra. With smaller, extremely-shiny-dark-green leaves, the foliage of this slow rhizomatous spreader resembles patent leather. Its flowers of ivory white are short lived during spring but pleasantly fragrant. Use this unique selection on a small to large scale and lends strong contrast to about any other color or texture one might encounter.
