Pachysandra For Dummies Update 

Nice Sameera! The ones I planted have been zero maintenance, which makes them even better! I think your'e gonna be really happy with em. Just a reminder that I planted mine about 1 foot apart and it then took about 3 yrs to totally fill in all the gaps. First year it sleeps, 2nd year it creeps, 3rd year it leaps! That's a good description of what to expect. Also every spring they have nice small white flowers on em that are very fragrant. Good luck! 😊👍

One of my beds was seriously impacted by the heat last summer. Hoping it rebounds and that we don't have another killer summer with severe drought again this year. Plenty of good rain so far that's for sure.

I have not had any issues with ferns. I've read that using boiling water and/or white vinegar can be an effective deterrent at preventing the growth of ferns.

@@trickiewoowoo thank you my friend will try!

I have a Toro leaf blower that I use to clear the leaves. I can actually walk on the plants in the bed in the process of doing this and it doesn't damage them. They are very resilient.

Hi Evette. I planted them one square foot apart. They'll fill in the area faster that way.

Was not aware of that.

My research indicates that Pachysandra can be planted in clay soils. It does not favor soils that don't drain well. If you can also mix in some composted material it will do well.

what do you mean?
