Summary

A durable evergreen groundcover that brings reliable greenery and soft spring color.

Vinca minor forms dense mats of trailing stems that root as they spread, making it an effective solution for covering shaded ground and stabilizing soil. The glossy foliage remains attractive throughout the year.

In spring, five-petaled blooms in shades of blue to lavender appear above the foliage, brightening woodland gardens and shaded borders. Once established, it tolerates dry conditions and adapts well to various soil types with good drainage.

Care

Periwinkle Care

Plant in Full Sun to Full Shade. Partial Shade often produces the best balance of flowering and foliage density.

Grow in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid persistently waterlogged sites.

Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. After establishment, allow soil to dry slightly between waterings.

If needed, apply a light feeding of slow release fertilizer in early spring to support steady growth.

Trim back runners in early spring or after flowering to maintain boundaries and encourage denser growth.

Container Growing: Use a container with drainage holes and quality potting mix. Container-grown plants require more frequent watering than those planted in the ground. Plants hardy in the ground may require winter protection when grown in containers in colder zones.

Unbelievable Value: Durable and Adorable! My Pup Loved Then Instantly!
Color: Multicolour20
My brand new pup LOVED THESE INSTANTLY! I He’s 10 months old and still in that “gotta chew on everything “ stage: those puppy baby teeth can really get itchy. I love that these toys nontoxic but they are definitely tough. When I opened the box I wasn’t overwhelmed with the small of chemicals. It’s a similar, clean feeling quality as something I would have purchased for my son back in the day. The variety of shapes and sizes is perfect. All the little nubs on the silicones are also in various sizes from larger to fine and really help him get those tough hard to reach slots. I would definitely give them an A+ on appeal and durability. My GSD played with one for 30’ minutes and it was still in tact. He can rip pretty much anything to shreds in under 5 minutes…I’d call this purchase a win-win. Can’t beat the value for the money. Material is quality. They’re cute and adorable. Can’t beat it!

This package is suited for puppies and it is priced right. 20 toys for 20 dollars and my little guy loves them. No outlet pet store will sell you this amount for the price. Great buy.

My puppy loves to pull the toys out of this box and he especially loves the rope he likes to chew on it and I just really like that there are different kinds of toys for him so he doesn't get bored. The rope only lasted a couple of months. He chewed the heck out of it.

Could be dangerous for smaller dogs
Color: Multicolour20
Most of the toys seem to be great, I have a yorkshire terrier and I noticed that on some of the toys that have small nubs and prices that he can focus on he is chewing off and eating which is not good for his little body so just be careful and pay attention to how they are using the toys so you don't end up at the vet with a problem you didn't expect
