Pachysandra | pack -a -SAN - dra | Spurge
Pachysandra is the best-known of the classic evergreen groundcover plants. Groundcovers are great multi-taskers, replacing lawns, preventing erosion, provding shade for sensitive roots and substituting for mulch. Any plant that spreads to cover the ground by root or leaf (or both) may be considered in this category. Good soil and regular watering (especially at first) helps the young plants become well-established. Some grow faster, some slower. After the first season, the annual light fertilization given in spring will be quite adequate. Spring cleanup would naturally include a trimming and general tidying. Of course, do not cut back in autumn.
