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 Plants
I purchased 200 pachysandra plants for ground covering to be placed on either side of a stone staircase. I was so impressed with the service (prompt acknowledgement of the stages of shipping) and the high quality of the plants received. The plants were fresh and vibrant in color and safely packed. I will be placing an order for another 200 shortly.

Service and plant quality is excellent at Bloomin' Designs
The 96 potted 2.5 inch Pachysandra plants arrived at our home in Northeastern Wisconsin to plant as the trees were beginning to exhibit their brilliant colors. They are now adorning the two sides of our stone walkway and have fully adapted to falling temperatures. Bloomin' Frsigns deserves high praise for their service and exceptional plant quality. We will definitely order from them again.
