Pachysandra terminalis is a great option for troublesome borders as it suits many soil types and aspects, providing a little early encouragement and and care, post-planting, is offered.

In early summer upright clusters of tiny, white flowers contrast beautifully with the dark green foliage. Japanese spurge is perfect for carpeting bare areas of earth between deciduous shrubs or trees.
Pachysandra prefers a shady spot with well-drained, slightly acidic soil. When planting, space the plants 15-30cm (6-12in) apart to allow them to spread and form a dense ground cover.
Water regularly during the first year to help the plants establish, then reduce watering as they become more drought-tolerant. In early spring, apply a layer of compost or leaf mould to enrich the soil and help retain moisture.
Trim back any leggy or damaged growth in late winter to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage dense growth. Every few years, thin out crowded areas
