Can anyone advise if this plant is friend or foe?

Hi Jan - It's a ground cover plant Pachysandra terminalis 'Green Carpet' - "what's a weed ?" - just a plant in the wrong place , keep unless you don' t like it - but it suppresses weeds : )

It's a very good plant for very shady, dry positions and has white flowers.

I would rip it all out. To me it is absolutely a weed. If you have other options for a shady spot, go for it!

A reliable groundcover if you don't want anything else there, ever and forever. That being said, I will never ever specify or plant it, and encourage its removal!
