Vinca major – Greater Periwinkle with Purple Flowers

Vinca major, also known as Greater Periwinkle, is a vigorous, evergreen ground cover with a striking flat growth habit. In spring, this plant transforms into a colorful eye-catcher with large, purple flowers that appear from March to June. Thanks to its wide, creeping growth habit, it forms a dense foliage cover that suppresses weeds and beautifully fills borders, slopes, or tree wells.
