Vinca minor 'Ralph Shugert'
Common name: Variegated Lesser Periwinkle
Vinca minor 'Ralph Shugert' is a striking evergreen ground cover with small, glossy dark green leaves edged in clean silvery-white. This low-growing, spreading perennial forms an attractive weed-suppressing mat in borders, beneath shrubs, or on banks – especially in tricky shaded areas.
From spring through summer, it produces starry violet-blue flowers that contrast beautifully with the variegated foliage. It spreads steadily but is easy to manage with occasional trimming.
Fully hardy and drought-tolerant once established, it thrives in full sun to full shade and in a wide range of soils, including dry or poor ground.
Ultimate height and spread:
10–15cm high × 60–100cm spread
Position: Sun to full shade
Soil type: Moist, well-drained; tolerates dry shade
Suitable for: Ground cover, underplanting, edging, slopes, containers
Does the height include the pot?
