Our native pachysandra is a wonderful groundcover for shady areas. Unlike the non- native Pachysandra terminalis it is not aggressive and plays nice with other groundcovers. The semi-evergreen leaves are sharply serrated and have silvery water marks or splotches on
them. Making Alleghany pachysandra a very attractive plant.

The fragrant white flower plumes bloom in May and are 2 to four inches long.They rise above the foliage before the new seasons growth.The plant spreads by rhizomes growing about 6 to 9 inches tall. Allegany pachysandra grows best in moist rich soil in shady or partially shadedarea. 

Good companions are Christmas Fern, merry bells, False Solomon’s Seal, May Apple and Bowman’s Root. Alleghany pachysandra really lights up a dark or drab area.
