Green Carpet Pachysandra – Japanese Spurge – 18 Count Flat Of Pint Pots

Green Carpet Pachysandra, commonly called Japanese Spurge, is a highly attractive and extremely popular shade-loving evergreen ground cover that spreads quickly by rhizomes to form patches or a solid groundcover. In spring, spikes covered in small, subtly sweet white flowers rise above the dense carpet of rich, dark green foliage. The leaves of Green Carpet are darker than other varieties of Pachysandra. It is deer and rabbit resistant, can survive a drought, and we’ve seen no insect or disease problems.

Growing 8 to 12 inches tall and quickly spreading, Green Carpet Pachysandra is ideal for use as a large space groundcover. It works perfectly as a mulch substitute under the canopies of large shade trees, where not much else will grow. It also serves well to fill in around shrubs and trees in home foundation plantings, as a border along walkways and paths, or massed on shady slopes for erosion control. It will not sprawl or trail over walkways or other surfaces.
