Vinca minor 'Bowles'


Common Periwinkle, Creeping Myrtle

An excellent, weed-smothering, evergreen groundcover with small, solid dark green leaves. From mid to late spring, lovely lavender-blue flowers about the size of a nickle appear just above the foliage, creating a tranquil effect. Additional flowers may appear sporadically in summer and fall. Vinca spreads by creeping across the ground and rooting at each node that touches the surface. This makes it an excellent plant to use for erosion control on slopes.
