“Use Pachysandra” has become a popular saying and thought with many landscape architects 
and plantsmen when confronted with the problem of planting situations such as follows: 
Bare areas under dense shade. 
Bare ground under evergreen plantings. 
Bare ground under shrub plantings. 
Bare areas along shady driveways. 
Bare areas in courtyards. 
Bare areas in city yards. 
Bare areas at entrance gateways. 
It stands out, not as a substitute for some other plant, but as the best and only one to use for 
these situations. 
Pachysandra recommends itself—evergreen winter and summer; hardy under all conditions; 
disease-free; even height of 6 inches; does not flop in winter. 
Distinctly benefits shade trees, evergreen and shrub plantings, not alone in providing the 
natural mulch or forest condition of top-soil so important to them, but also in bringing out and 
adding an effect of completeness. The finished appearance that Pachysandra gives to plantings 
is unquestioned. It will carry out natural lines, face down and relieve foundation plantings, 
rhododendron borders, azalea plantings, extend the planted rock-garden from sun to shade in a 
naturalistic manner, enhance woodland gardens, combine with and protect plantings of spring 
bulbs. There are few plants as satisfactory as Pachysandra, and none that surpass it.
