Vinca minor 'Ralph Shugert'
lesser periwinkle
For many months from spring to autumn, large violet-blue flowers nestle amongst the yellow-margined, dark green leaves, putting on a very pretty display. A creeping, evergreen plant, Vinca minor 'Ralph Shugert' provides valuable groundcover, often in quite inhospitable settings where little else will grow.
How to care for Vinca minor Ralph Shugert:
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.
