COMMON PERIWINKLE

A wonderful ground cover, Periwinkle (Vinca minor).

Used to prevent soil erosion from zones 4-8.

Its blue violet flower that blooms in the Spring gives the plant its name. Periwinkle is a classified color.

There are some 30 varieties, I don't know which kind I have... Assume it's the common one... They come in many shades of blue & violet plus pinks, whites and even reds.

I have three separate areas where I let the Periwinkle spread. Spreads fasts with runners, very hardy and takes no maintenance...
