Culture Notes
Pachysandra can be used as a lawn substitute in shaded non-traffic areas. It is truly adapted to a shaded location, even thrives there. Lift plants from soil in the spring to divide rhizomes. Does best in a loamy, organic woodland soil. Remove (mow) any foliage left from last year in the spring before new foliage emerges. Plants in the southern portion of the hardiness range are best located in total shade. Even plants in the north look best in shade, less foliage yellows. This plant is considered mostly allergy free and causes little or no allergy problems in most people.
