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.

Family favorite series
Format: Hardcover
My daughter had a friend having a unicorn and dragon themed birthday party, so of course we picked up this one and Unicorns Are The Worst for the birthday girl. This series has been a big favorite in our household for over a year. My five year old loves them. The tone and humor are perfect for her age. We love seeing what complaints Gilbert has about each new mythical friend.
