Pachysandra terminalis 'Green Sheen' | Green Sheen Japanese Spurge
DESCRIPTION
Pachysandra terminalis 'Green Sheen' is a versatile evergreen ground cover prized for its glossy, rich green foliage that maintains its vibrancy throughout the year. The leaves have an almost reflective quality, adding texture and brightness to shaded areas. In early spring, small clusters of white flowers appear, tucked among the foliage. Though modest in size, the blooms contribute a delicate charm to the plant's overall appearance.
Originating from East Asia, Pachysandra terminalis thrives in shaded woodland settings and is well-suited for creating lush, low-maintenance ground cover in challenging garden areas. The 'Green Sheen' variety is especially valued for its enhanced leaf gloss, which distinguishes it from other cultivars. Its dense, spreading habit makes it ideal for suppressing weeds while adding year-round greenery to borders, under trees, or shaded pathways.
