It is a good ground cover, but it is taking over my garden and moving into my lawn. It sends shoots over 3 ft into my grass, and it makes a dense root mass up to 24" into the ground. It is overgrowing many other plants in my garden. It is January 16, and it is the only thing green with leaves.

I have had Pachysandra for years and it has never taken hold; it is barely bigger than when I bought it. I assume it is because of the greedy maple tree, but I thought it would do better than it did. My information says it is hardy in zones 3-9.

I've had this plant in my yard for over ten years and it has done extremely well. One of the first to bloom in spring and a vibrant green through out the summer. It has spread slowly, but has made a solid carpet and looks great. All this in Zone 3a.

I agree with the others - pachysandra is maintenance-free. It survives winter, dog's walking over it, and just about anything. And it grows good and looks great! The photo on this site looks like it came from my back yard!

This is a great groundcover - attractive year-round. Tolerates traffic from our five dogs, and allows perennials to poke up through it very well. Has a very natural, native woods look. Looks great without any care at all.
