It features tiny spikes of white flowers rising above the foliage in mid spring. This Pachysandra will transform otherwise bare and ugly ground areas into attractive year-round cover! This spurge is also very effective as a border plant along paths or driveway edgings and can be used as a lawn substitute in shaded non-traffic areas.
