Creeping Myrtle 'Variegata'

Vinca major 'Variegata' is a vigorous evergreen perennial, forming long, trailing stems that quickly root to create a dense ground cover. Its large, ovate leaves are beautifully variegated with creamy-yellow margins, providing year-round interest and brightening up shady or dull areas. From spring to autumn, it bears large, showy, violet-blue, pinwheel-shaped flowers. This robust plant thrives in partial to full shade and moist, well-drained soil. It’s an excellent choice for covering banks, cascading over walls, or underplanting in larger UK gardens, but its vigour needs managing in smaller spaces.
