Description
Periwinkle (Vinca spp.)
Periwinkle, also known as Vinca or Myrtle, is a hardy, evergreen ground cover prized for its attractive foliage and charming, five-petaled flowers. Blooms typically appear in purple, blue, white, or pink, depending on the variety, and often last from spring through early summer.
There are two main species:
-
Vinca minor (commonly used in gardens)
-
Vinca major (larger and more vigorous)
Periwinkle spreads through trailing stems that root at the nodes, forming dense mats that help prevent soil erosion and suppress weeds. It thrives in partial to full shade, making it a popular choice for difficult areas under trees or on slopes.
