Ground Cover Plants 
You will observe that we grow a number of plants for ground cover 
purposes. None are more practical than Pachysandra and Vinca which we 
grow in quantity. 
Wherever you have an area too shady for grass to grow successfully 
or to small to bother to mow, a green carpeting of either of these plants is 
a good treatment and provides an attractive effect at any season. They are 
ordinarily planted at the rate of 3 plants to each square foot of area for 
reasonably quick results.
