Description
Pachysandra terminalis (Japanese spurge or Japanese pachysandra) is one of the finest shade-tolerant groundcovers available for Australian gardens. Once established, it naturalizes beautifully in shady woodland settings, forming a lush, low green carpet that suppresses weeds and requires minimal maintenance.
In spring, it produces masses of sweetly scented white flower heads, adding a delicate charm to shaded areas where little else will grow. Widely used in the millions across Japan, Korea, China, and the northern hemisphere as a premier landscaping plant for shade.
- Use: Groundcover, woodland gardens, under trees
- Light: Shade to part-shade
- Flowers: Fragrant white, spring
- Origin: Japan, Korea, China
An excellent low-maintenance solution for difficult shady spots in Australian gardens.
