Pachysandra terminalis 'Green Carpet' - Dense Evergreen Ground Cover for Shady Gardens
Pachysandra terminalis 'Green Carpet' is the perfect ground cover for shady gardens. This evergreen plant forms a dense, low-maintenance mat that suppresses weeds and protects the soil.

Growing Specifications
This pack contains 40 Pachysandra terminalis 'Green Carpet' plants, each 10-25cm in height, supplied in 9cm diameter recyclable growing pots. Plant spacing of 6-12 inches apart allows for optimal spread and dense coverage. The plants spread by rhizomes to form a lush carpet, typically reaching 6-12 inches in mature height.
Ideal Growing Conditions
Pachysandra 'Green Carpet' performs best in well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. It tolerates a wide range of soil types, including clay and acidic soils. This ground cover is one of the few that will grow successfully under pine trees and in deep shade beneath mature trees. Zones 4-9. Avoid planting in full sun, as foliage may bleach in excessive sunlight.
Planting and Care
Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, Pachysandra is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. A light trim before the end of February promotes healthy, vigorous growth. This deer-resistant ground cover is perfect for erosion control on slopes, filling bare areas under trees, edging pathways, or as a lawn substitute in shaded non-traffic areas.

We grow in a natural way and only intervene when necessary, which can sometimes cause the plant to show minor imperfections. These often recover in your garden. We guarantee that our plants are vigorous and long lasting. They are supplied in recyclable growing pots and are shipped directly from our nursery.
