I find this to be too aggressive and less drought tolerant than the Allegheny. I have proof in the 2010 NE US summer drought. Otherwise, a common cover that is more attractive than vinca.

Grown more for its evergreen foliage than the small flowers.

Rating for this plant:
It takes little watering, has pretty foliage, and small but bright flowers. However, it is a headache to weed the pachysandra patch.

I like this opinion

Pachysandra is great in the right spot: a place where it can grow without causing headaches for th gardener. It is quite aggressive and difficult to contain.
