Is that Pachysandra ??
A good ground cover plant, especially in shadey areas.

Where is everyone else tonight, lol :-))
I hope someone else can help too :-)))

I thought it was a form of Euphorbia, Louise.

Thank you again - particularly you Louise for your tireless comments :) - it is so helpful to know what I have, now I can look up how to look after them :)

Be careful with the euphorbias, Numbaten....they can cause skin irritation if you get the white sap from the stems on your skin....wear gardening gloves...am I right with this one, Andrewr?? Or am I mixing it up with something else???

Bscott - you are right. All euphorbias exude the white sap from broken stems
