Vinca minor is a trailing subshrub that is known for its looping elegance and ability to form low ground covers that flower in spring and summer.
The light purple flowers give the plant her common name “Lesser Periwinkle” – in fact this is where the name for the color comes from.
These plants fear neither sun nor shade, neither rocky soil nor competitors.
Vinca minor colonies will actually smother weeds with their density, creating dancing shapes as they continue to grow.
The Tales
Vinca minor used to be planted in cementaries in the United States as it is often the last plant that remains standing.
For this reason, it can be considered invasive in certain contexts so do keep an eye out. Removing the rooting stems in the spring time can help keep her in check as well.
