Description
Green Sheen Japanese Spurge is a standout evergreen groundcover for shaded Massachusetts landscapes. Its glossy, deep green leaves provide a lush, low-maintenance carpet beneath mature trees or in woodland gardens. In mid-spring, tiny white flower spikes rise subtly above the foliage, adding seasonal interest without overwhelming the scene.
Green Sheen Japanese Spurge thrives in rich, acidic soil and prefers cool, shady conditions, making it ideal for New England’s woodland areas. Its dense, spreading growth habit effectively suppresses weeds, while deer tend to leave it alone. Whether used as a border or for naturalizing shady areas, Green Sheen Japanese Spurge offers year-round appeal and durability.
