Vinca Minor

Periwinkle
Vinca minor

Vinca minor is a plant species originally native to parts of central and southern Europe. Commonly used and referred to as a 'groundcover,' Vinca minor is most often used to cover bare places of ground and is dense in its nature of growth. With a habit that most often chokes out competing plants and weeds, Periwinkle is excellent in preventing soil erosion. Vinca minor also remains aesthetically pleasing most of the year, as it tends to bloom with a light blue-violet flower throughout the spring and summer months. Please abstain from using it as an edging for the lawn, as it will easily spread into the grass.

Common Name:	Periwinkle, Lesser Periwinkle, Myrtle, and Creeping Myrtle
Type:	Perennial Groundcover
Soil Preference:	Will grow in moist, well-drained, loamy, sandy or clay soils. Vinca minor is not picky.
Care:	Deadhead after blooming and divide plants in fall or spring to keep them within their bounds.
Planting Instructions:	Start at the farthest away area and plant the 'groundcover' evenly and outwards (like painting yourself into a corner). Water well, and remember to water regularly until they have started to grow. Fertilize according to the recommendation of your local agriculture extension agents, or fertilize based on your own knowledge and experience.
