ok to plant pachysandra UNDER my Rose of Sharon bushes?

Question

They are about 8′ tall and very robust and have beautiful flowers(mountains of NC). THe pachysandra is already growing just above these, but trying to creep down into the trunk/root area of the Sharons. I love the look of this ground cover and thought it would be easy to let this come on down! You mention ground covers like Hostas are OK, so I would guess this is fine, but please let me know!

Answer 1

Pachysandra should be just fine as a ground cover under the shrub.
