Planting Pachysandra: a Shade Loving Groundcover // Bog Life

[@bryanlee5390]

very nice! do you have update on how well they are growing now at this no sun area? Thanks!

Am giving my neighbor a bunch of pachysandra to fill in under a tree, which I’m taking from a bumper crop given to me three years ago by neighbors. It has grown beautifully under a maple tree and behind a row of holly. Considering what it is, I found it very expensive in the store.

Very helpful video! I purchased a home that has a lot of pachysandra planted in two large mulch bed area that I had to disrupt to trench an electrical line. I'm about to buy and replace the pachysandra and am wondering what that white powder is that you sprinkled into each hole before placing the pachysandra?

Biotone by Espoma. It’s a fertilizer to help promote root growth.

@BogLife Wow, great info and thanks for the fast reply! So will a simple 1-2 oz pinch of the Biotone suffice? Is that used for potted plants too?Will attempt to find pachysandra local to me (Southern NJ) and plant them this wknd.
