This evergreen groundcover features a low, spreading habit, making it ideal for filling in shaded garden areas with lush, glossy foliage. Recommended for hardiness in zones 4-9, it thrives in cool to moderate temperatures. It prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soils, where it forms a dense mat that suppresses weeds effectively. While it does not produce significant fall color, its shiny, dark-green leaves provide year-round interest. Tiny, inconspicuous white flowers may appear in early spring but are secondary to the luxurious foliage. This deer-resistant plant grows to a height of 6-12 inches, making it perfect for borders, under shrubs, or as a mass planting. Low-maintenance and hardy, it is an excellent choice for creating a polished, uniform groundcover. Each flat contains 25 plants, making it easy to cover larger areas efficiently.
