When to plant japanese pachysandra
Japanese pachysandra is a broadleaf-evergreen groundcover for shade that spreads by rhizomes into large colonies under trees, with small white flower spikes in early spring (NC State). Plant plugs 6 to 12 inches apart in spring or fall in moist, slightly acidic, well-drained shade; it bleaches in full sun, and an established cover takes about three years to fill in.
Japanese Pachysandra is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
