Description
A highly attractive and extremely popular shade-loving evergreen ground cover that spreads quickly by rhizomes to form dense patches or a solid groundcover, 'Green Sheen' sports high-gloss leaves that set it apart from other Pachysandra. In spring, spikes covered in small, subtly sweet white flowers rise just above and contrast beautifully with the rich, dark green foliage. Excellent in shade or part shade and will even grow under the canopies of large shade trees. You might also be happy to know that it is deer and rabbit resistant, can survive a drought, and we've seen no insect or disease problems.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 8 to 12 inches tall and quickly spreading to 24 inches or more, Green Sheen Pachysandra is ideal for use as a small or 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.
Suggested Spacing: 15 to 18" apart for groundcover

Growing Preferences
Pachysandra is very easy to grow and very low maintenance when planted in the right environment. It adapts to many soil types but prefers a moist but well-drained acidic soil rich in organic matter. An alkaline soil results in lighter green foliage. Applying Chelated Iron, Soil Sulfur or feeding with a fertilizer containing iron will promote deep greening of foliage. Plants will tolerate periods of dry soil. Pachysandra thrives in partial to full shade. Direct mid-afternoon sun will burn foliage.
