Description

Vinca minor 'Argenteovariegata', commonly known as lesser periwinkle 'Argenteovariegata', is a mat-forming, small evergreen perennial that typically reaches an approximate height of just 10 cm and spreads up to 1 metre. Its foliage features greyish-green, glossy leaves with an attractive creamy-white margin. These leaves complement the small violet-blue flowers that bloom from spring until autumn.

Vinca minor 'Argenteovariegata' can tolerate a variety of soil conditions, from poorly drained to well-drained, making it suitable for most garden settings. It thrives in full sun, partial shade, and full shade. This low-maintenance perennial is perfect for adding year-round colour and texture to garden borders, shaded areas, or as an attractive ground cover under trees. Its dense growth habit helps suppress weeds, making it both a practical and decorative choice for many landscapes.

Planting Steps

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
