Pachysandra terminalis ‘Green Carpet’
Blooming Time
Exposure
This relatively slow to moderate growing form is much like the species but differs in having a slightly more compact, slightly more uniform habit of growth, and seems to retain a darker green color during the winter months. It too is very low maintenance and bears pleasantly fragrant upright white floral spikes during early spring.

Pruning:
`Green Carpet' Pachysandra is evergreen and does not require pruning. It is normally only pruned for the purpose of keeping it within bounds.
