When you buy a Pachysandra online, it’s important to map out the right spot on your property where you plan to plant it. Japanese Pachysandra grows best in organically rich, medium moisture, and well-draining soil. Slightly acidic soil is best (a pH of 5.5. to 6.5 approximately). Due to their low maintenance nature, you can plant this groundcover at any time the soil isn’t frozen; we typically recommend planting it in early spring once the ground has had a chance to soften up and the risk of a hard frost hitting is low.
Once you buy a Pachysandra Terminalis plant, you can expect it to be delivered in bundles. We recommend planting 6-12” apart if the goal is to use it as a groundcover in an area of your property. The root system spreads rapidly by underground stems and will form large colonies.
