Vinca minor - fast growing ground cover shrub

This evergreen is an award-winning shrub which is popular not just for the flowers but for the ability to form a mat like a carpet of ground cover. It develops long, prostrate stems which produce sea green shaded leaves and violet coloured flowers reaching 5cm across. The flowers appear mid spring and remain in effect until Autumn. These stems grow into the form of a rich, dense carpet that naturally suppresses weeds.
