A dependable year-round trailer for just about any exposure, from sunny retaining walls to shady hanging baskets and containers.
Available in store
CloseThis ground cover is as dependable as they come, and it’s adaptable to so many different environments. Lesser Vinca, or periwinkle, is definitely a plant you will want to use in containers and hanging baskets as a trailer, or a ground cover for those areas that need fast cover. 'Ralph Shugert' has a primarily dark green leaf with the slimmest of white edging, giving it a rather elegant look. Violet blue flowers continue from spring into summer, and intermittently in the fall. The more sun, the more flowers.
