Lovely double, sky-blue flowers on arching shoots from mid-spring to autumn. This pretty evergreen shrub is an excellent ground cover for the smaller garden as it is as it is less rampant than Vinca major. Grow 'Azure Flore Pleno' in any reliably moist, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade.


  • Garden care:
    Plant into a well-prepared border or woodland margin with plenty of organic matter (well-rotted compost) - 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.
