Pachysandra procumbens / ALLEGHENY SPURGE
Pachysandra procumbens, commonly known as Allegheny Spurge, is an evergreen ground cover native to the woodlands of the eastern United States. Unlike its more commonly known relative, Pachysandra terminalis, Allegheny Spurge features darker, glossy green leaves with a unique, leathery texture and distinctive, silvery veins. In early spring, the plant produces small, spiky white flowers that stand out against the dense foliage, offering a subtle yet attractive bloom. This perennial thrives in moist, well-drained, acidic soil and prefers partial to full shade, making it an excellent choice for shaded garden beds, woodland settings, or as an underplanting in mixed landscapes. Allegheny Spurge is low-maintenance, deer-resistant, and adds both texture and year-round interest to shaded landscapes.
