Vinca 'Illumination'
Vinca 'Illumination' is a stunning variegated evergreen groundcover, grown for its vibrant golden foliage beautifully edged in rich green. Fresh new leaves emerge a bright chartreuse before maturing through golden tones to soft creamy shades, creating an ever-changing display of colour throughout the year.
In spring, masses of vivid blue flowers appear above the colourful foliage, providing a striking contrast against the golden leaves. Flowering may continue intermittently throughout the growing season, adding further interest while attracting bees and other pollinating insects.
Hardy, vigorous and easy to grow, 'Illumination' is perfect for covering banks, borders, slopes and shaded areas where its bright foliage helps to lighten darker corners of the garden. Thriving in full sun or partial shade, it forms a dense evergreen carpet that provides reliable year-round structure with minimal maintenance.
