Vinca Minor 9cm x 6 Plant Pack

Vinca minor

Common name: Lesser Periwinkle

Vinca minor is a reliable, mat-forming evergreen perennial ideal for ground cover in sun or shade. It forms dense carpets of glossy dark green foliage, making it perfect for suppressing weeds in borders, banks, under shrubs, or in difficult dry, shady areas.

From spring through summer, it produces a long-lasting display of violet-blue star-shaped flowers, adding cheerful colour to shaded spots. It spreads steadily via rooting stems and is easy to manage with light trimming.

A low-maintenance and fully hardy plant that thrives in a wide range of soils, including poor or dry ones once established.

10–15cm high × 60–100cm spread
