Periwinkle 'Aureovariegata'

Vinca minor 'Aureovariegata' is an elegant evergreen ground cover offering a beautiful contrast of golden variegated leaves, creating a bright effect in shady spots. It forms a dense, spreading carpet, typically growing to 10-15cm tall and spreading indefinitely via rooting stems, making it excellent for weed suppression. Solitary, blue-lavender flowers appear in spring, providing a lovely accent against the bright foliage. This robust periwinkle thrives in partial to full shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil, though it is remarkably tolerant of dry conditions once established. Fully hardy (H6), it's ideal for woodland gardens, underplanting, or erosion control on banks.
