Description

Pachysandra procumbens is a native semi-woody ground cover that spreads indefinitely via rhizomes. Also known as Allegheny Spurge, this perennial's coarsely serrated leaves are a matte blue-green with mottling of silver, olive or lighter green. Pachysandra procumbens forms fragrant clusters of tiny, white blooms that appear before new leaves emerge in spring. A lovely addition to shade gardens, this plant can be semi-evergreen to evergreen in zones 7-9.

Native to the Southeastern United States and portions of New England, Pachysandra procumbens is uncommon, but forms dense stands where it is found. Unlike Japanese Spurge, Allegheny Spurge spreads rather slowly and will not overrun other plants.

Pachysandra procumbens prefers partial to full shade or dappled sun and is grown best in organic-rich, well-drained soil. Plants are drought tolerant once established.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
