Vinca difformis
Vinca difformis is a vigorous evergreen groundcover forming a dense carpet of glossy green foliage. In late winter and spring it produces attractive pale violet-blue flowers that brighten shaded areas of the garden.
This reliable and easy-to-grow plant is excellent for covering difficult areas beneath trees and shrubs, where it helps suppress weeds and provides year-round foliage interest. It thrives in a wide range of soils and is particularly useful in shaded borders, woodland gardens and banks.
