This mat-forming evergreen shrub is ideal for ground cover, producing trailing shoots with glossy, lance-shaped, dark green leaves.
From mid-spring to late summer, violet-blue flowers appear, adding colour to sunny or partially shaded spots. Less vigorous than Vinca major, it’s suitable for smaller gardens and thrives in well-drained soil.
Vinca minor has compact growth making it a good choice for pots and containers. This versatile, low-maintenance option is perfect for creating year-round interest in shadier borders, woodland gardens, or pots in north facing situations.

Plant into a well-prepared border or woodland margin with plenty of organic matter (well-rotted compost). Keep well-watered as Vinca does not like to dry out during the summer.
To prevent the plant from spreading, cut back any unwanted shoots in spring, and where necessary, lift and divide congested clumps at this time.
