Pachysandra procumbens
Pachysandra procumbens (Allegheny Pachysandra or Allegheny Spurge) is an attractive native, semi-deciduous ground cover in the boxwood family (Buxaceae), native to southeast United States from West Virginia and Kentucky south to Florida.
It is a low perennial, spreading with long rhizomes. Toothed leaves crowd near the top of somewhat fleshy, 6 in., erect stems. Fragrant, white flowers cluster in a spike, the many staminate flowers above, the few pistillate flowers below. Leaves and stems are evergreen to semi-evergreen in colder areas. Once the new shoots mature, the previous season's growth disappears. Leaves have scalloped margins and are marbled with silver and purple.
Allegheny Pachysandra is an excellent ground cover for shady areas. In many regards, it is more interesting than the over-used Asiatic, Pachysandra terminalis. This native species grows slowly and will not take over like P. terminalis.
Prices listed are subject to change, based upon size change and availability.
We are a small local nursery with limited shipping capability. We will do our best to ship smaller material (usually 1 or 2 gallon), although we can sometimes ship larger plants with the pots removed.
We have some species that are not listed, as we have too few of them to make a full listing plausible. You can always inquire.
We will consider contract growing an order with appropriate advance notice and availability of seed, cuttings or lining out stock.
