Plant details
Sometimes known as Japanese spurge, pachysandra is a small genus of very dwarf shrubs, popular for over a century for their ability to spread into a dense evergreen carpet beneath other taller shrubs. They all need some degree of shade and acid soils, hence their popularity for underplanting rhododendrons. P. terminalis is perhaps the best known, fully hardy and evergreen in shaded acid soils. It will tolerate full sun if the ground is consistently moist, but it is more valuable as a carpeting plant in dry shade, sheltered from cold winds. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
