Description
Evergreen Periwinkle, Vinca minor, is a fast spreading evergreen perennial groundcover plant that loves the shade. It produces loads of pretty blue periwinkle flowers in spring that appear just above the dense, low carpet of glossy, dark green foliage. The foliage is as attractive during winter as it is in summer.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 4 to 6 inches tall (lays flat to maybe 2 inches or so in winter) and spreading 3 or more feet, Evergreen Periwinkle is ideal for use as a groundcover in shady landscape borders, home foundation plantings and under the canopies of large trees. Then perfect evergreen groundcover for use in perennials shade gardens where plants like hosta lily, ferns, bulbs and other herbaceous shade-loving plants will pop right through it in spring. The vines are quite aggressive, and will quickly form a dense carpet, but do not climb, cover or choke out other plants in the garden.
Suggested Spacing:Â 18-24″ apart for groundcover

Growing Preferences
Evergreen Periwinkle is very easy to grow in most any average, moist but well-drained soil. As with so many other ornamental plants, constantly soggy or wet conditions can be problematic. So make sure to plant in a well-drained site. In USDA Zones 4 through 6, Evergreen Periwinkle will grow equally well in full sun or full shade. In USDA Zones 7-8, it grows in shade or part shade (morning sun with afternoon shade). It must have all-day shade in Zone 9.

Always taking a chance ordering online but no other choice where I live. We are in year 4 of continuing converting our front lawn to a Cottage Garden and ordered the Vinca Minor as a ground cover/weed control under our rose garden. Beautiful healthy product, Excellent packaging. Planted on arrival & doing very, very well. Thank you. Wilson Bros.

If I need any other plants, I would definitely use Wilson Bro’s Gardens again. I was extremely happy with the PeriWinkle Vinca Minor I ordered. The website was easy to use, the description was exactly right, the shipment was fast, the packaging was good and the whole experience was very positive. Thank you.
I am creating a mass planting of groundcover. I ordered Vinca 3 separate times and each time the plants were very healthy and quite large for the price. Great shipping too. Highly recommend!
I received the plants with very dark green leaves and in very healthy condition overall in a flat. The vines were long so I had to work a little to get them apart, but not complaining. Would rather have larger plants like these than tiny little plants. They grew good over the summer and fall and are filling in nicely. The ground should be covered by the end of spring this year. Very happy with the plants and the service from Wilson Bros. Will shop here again.
Purchased a flat of Blue Star Creeper which I was unable to find locally; arrived within 3 days of ordering; plants were healthy, packed well. Will consider using this on-line store again.
