WAYSIDE GARDENS 
PACHYSANDRA TERMINALS 
Trailing plants 6 to 8 inches high, forming broad mats of bright glossy 
green foliage. A ground cover, which will grow in all shady situations. 
Some of its main uses are: Under all evergreen plantings, under all 
shrub plantings, for areaway copings, for shrub borders, for bordering 
walks and drives, for steep terraces in sun or shade, under any kind 
of trees. 
Culture. A well drained, rich, fibrous loam suits them best. Because 
of the fact that Pachysandras are always 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.
