Vinca Minor (Blue Periwinkle) is a vigorous evergreen groundcover valued for its glossy dark green foliage and charming violet-blue, five-petalled flowers that bloom profusely in spring with occasional flowering throughout the warmer months. Its dense, spreading habit quickly forms a lush carpet, making it an excellent choice for covering bare ground, suppressing weeds, stabilising slopes, and softening borders.
Highly adaptable and exceptionally easy to grow, this hardy perennial thrives in both sun and shade and tolerates a wide range of soil conditions once established. Its low-maintenance nature, year-round evergreen foliage, and long-lasting floral display make it an ideal solution for gardens requiring attractive, reliable groundcover.
