Pachysandra terminalis
Blooming Time
Exposure
Pachysandra is considered by many to be the most versatile and reliable evergreen ground cover for the north. It is dense growing and nearly fool proof in any shady setting and is as low maintenance as possible. Pachysandraa bears its upright white pleasantly fragrant flower spikes in April atop rosettes of rich green evergreen foliage.

Landscape Value
Dense spreading habit makes a near maintenance free moderate to large scale ground cover, superb for reducing turf in shady settings.
Care
Watering:
Pachysandra requires a fair amount of supplemental watering and often requires watering on a regular basis during the growing season.
Fertilizing:
Pachysandra is a moderate feeder, benefiting from a couple of annual applications of slow release fertilizer. A spring application of a 3-1-2 ratio (such as a 15-5-10) can be applied at a rate of about 10 pounds per 1000 square feet, and during early fall, an application of a 2-1-2 ratio (such as a 10-5-10) can be applied to encourage root development and cold hardiness.
Pruning:
Pachysandra is evergreen and does not require pruning. It is normally only pruned for the purpose of keeping it within bounds.
