I've had this plant for at least 4 yrs...probably more. Sorry to say in this pot for at least 2 w/o repotting...bad plant momma,Bad! I do not remember if I bought it or traded for it but my brain keeps whispering "Bluestone Perennials" It's not a shrub. It hasn't bloomed for me...if it blooms but I'm almost certain it's suppose to. I can plant it out until I know what it is so I can put it in it's proper place.

Any ideas?

Here's a close up of the leaves.It's only gotten 10-12 tall over the years I've had it but that can be due to it being in the pot so long

it runs as you can see from the runners coming out of the drainage hole.Stems or more fleshy than woody but not succulent. Leaves are totaly smooth w/ no hairs.

happy,
could be but I can't ever remember having a desire for pachysandra.

bigred, it is pachysandra. Be glad it is still in a pot - I am in the process of digging out a big section. Not as bad as chameleon plant but not too far behind - certainly in the ranks of vinca.

Yup,ya'll are right. I did a search. Ack! I don't need to battle anything thing else. I've been wagging war w/ chameloen plant for years...it's winning...and vinca that's escape from neighbors yard under my fence.

If I was a stinker,I'd trade it at my garden swap next Sat. but all the people coming are friends so I can't do that to them.

I am actually looking for more pachysandra for a big hill! It isn't aways aggressive -- depends on the spot.
