Vinca Minor Ralph Shugert 9cm x 6 Plant Pack

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.

10–15cm high × 60–100cm spread
Position: Sun to full shade
Soil type: Moist, well-drained; tolerates dry shade
