Culture. A well drained, rich, fibrous loam suits them 
best. Because of the fact that Pachysandras are al¬ 
ways closely planted together and usually under or near 
shade trees, it is well to enrich the soil frequently with 
well-rotted manure or bone meal, applied in fall or 
spring in liberal quantities. Plant in fall or spring, 3 
inches apart. Pot plants may be planted throughout 
the summer.
