Ground cover identification

I am trying to find out what this plant is called. They are not the best pics so if you need more details let me know and I will post some better pics later on today.

Thanks in advance!!

The leaf shape and serration pattern looks a lot like that of variegated Pachysandra to me, but I can't be sure. I came across a few other plants that look awfully close, too.

Can you tell me how tall it grows, is it evergreen, and what the flowers look like? If not, tell us as much as you can about it. :)

Yup, bishop's weed, Aegopodium podagraria.

In some places it can get a bit aggressively spreading, but a very nice ground cover for shade.

In my neck of the woods we call it snow on the mountain and it will absolutely take over an area and is difficult to get rid of.
