Insights
Vinca, colloquially known as Periwinkle, has a reputation for being invasive but this variegated variety has better manners but is still robust. Native to Southern Europe and Africa, Vinca was taken to America for its medicinal properties. This variety was discovered in 1986 by David Mackenzie who named it after a fellow Michigan plantsman.
Details
Flowers: Brilliant violet blue flowers bloom intermittently from April to September.
Planting

Care
Vinca’s are hardy and need little attention but If the groundcover is exceeding its boundaries, cut shoots back in spring.
