Vinca Minor (Creeping Myrtle / Periwinkle)

Vinca Minor is a versatile and attractive evergreen groundcover perfect for shady or hard-to-grow areas. Its trailing vines spread across the ground, creating a dense mat of glossy green foliage that stays vibrant year-round.

In spring and early summer, it produces delightful blue-violet, star-shaped flowers that brighten up the landscape. Vinca Minor is ideal for erosion control on slopes, under trees, and in woodland gardens. It’s drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and easy to grow in a variety of soils.
