Our range of small periwinkles. These creeping perennials are ideal for ground cover and adding a splash of color to the shaded corners of your garden. They stand out from the larger periwinkles due to the smaller size of their star-shaped flowers. The most well-known is the Vinca minor 'Marie', with its intense blue flowers and evergreen foliage. The variety 'Atropurpurea' offers purple flowers and dense foliage, while 'Gertrude Jekyll' brightens woodland areas with its multitude of white flowers.
Small periwinkles are particularly valued for their ability to form a dense and decorative tapetum throughout the year, even at the base of trees or on steep slopes. Small-flowered periwinkles adapt well to partial shade or shaded exposures and prefer fresh, humus-bearing soil.
