Pachysandra- Pachysandra Procumbens
Buy Pachysandra at TN Nursery. This plant is hardy in most areas of the U.S. probably into zone 4 maybe even zone 3. In zones 7-10 it stays evergreen but in colder areas it is a herbaceous perennial. In the early spring when the ground is bare the plant shoots up these really cool spikes of pink and white fragrant flowers that last for a week or two. Soon after the flowers have set seed the first shoots of foliage poke their heads up through the soil and their dark green leaves begin to unfold. In deep shade the foliage remains a dark luxurious green all summer. The more sun that the plants get the lighter their leaves are. I planted a row in full sun as an experiment to push the plant to its extreme. The plants were healthy and productive but the leaves were paler in color some with an almost chloritic appearance. This is definitely a dappled-to-deep shade plant!

I gave this plant a 4 star because when I first received them via UPS they were very little plants and I didn't think they would amount to anything or make a good ground cover like I had planned. I put them out in December here in south Kentucky about 2 years ago. They have spread out quit a bit and have become a wonderful ground cover in my flour beds where I don't want to do any weeding.
