Vinca (Periwinkle) are versatile plants that can thrive in a variety of conditions, from full shade to full sun. They are great for ground cover and can be used in woodland areas, at the front of borders, or on exposed banks. With a flowering season from November to April, they are mostly evergreen and have a creeping habit. While some varieties, like Vinca major, can be invasive, others, such as Vinca minor, are less so and can be easily maintained by cutting back in certain areas. Vinca difformis is a middle ground between the two, making it a great option for any garden.
