I'd say Sarcococca, sweet box.

Ruscus sp, or Danae racemosa

I was thinking Ruscus but couldn’t remember the name... Danae is another good guess. I can’t tell them apart from foliage alone.

My photo probably wasn't that great, but having researched both sarcococca and danae (or poet's laurel), I have decided this one is danae. I understand they take a long time to grow. Personally, I don't find the plant too attractive but maybe once it blooms or puts out fruit I will feel differently. I might be digging it up, though, because it's in a spot I need to use for something else.

==>>> timing of moving a plant is often different than project timing ... and can be very important ...

in other words ... spring or fall might be the best time for the plant.. while say a deck is built in mid summer ...

IF YOU CAN .... move it at the time best for the plant .... see link .. timing section ....

that said.. you do what you gotta do.. when you have to do it... but then .. you would focus on proper watering ....

Danae racemosa for sure. It's related to Asparagus. So once it sends up a 'branch' (actually called a cladode), that 'branch' eventually dies after a few years. It does not leaf out again from that old stalk, so the old stalks must be removed when they turn brown -- as they do in regular asparagus...but this one's evergreen. I can see one cladode on yours that is on its way out -- just cut it off at the base. I love this plant and especially when the orange-red berries are produced in fall. It takes dry shade really well.

They are expensive to purchase because they are so slow from seed and do not propagate from cuttings.
