Vinca minor 'Alba'

Lesser periwinkle

Evergreen groundcover with bright white flowers. Green smaller leaf than other Vinca species. White, 1 cm large flowers every early spring. Spreads quickly after established. Very shade tolerant, the leaves will sometimes scorch in too much sun. Tolerates dry shade once plants are established. Stems root into the ground readily, and the new plants that form may be easily moved to a new location in spring or early fall.
