Planted near the 'Flower Power' periwinkles to extend a little blue carpet, they bring a lot of brightness with their foliage. Well rooted and with many buds!

Description

The 'Ralph Shugert' periwinkle is interesting, especially for its marginate white foliage. The flower is a soft blue star that blooms solitarily at the end of a short stem.

 

It is a very good perennial ground cover for shady areas. At the base of a tree, the small periwinkles, or Vinca minor in Latin, have a beautiful effect as they give the garden a touch of woodland. It should be noted that the foliage is evergreen.

Planting and care
