Notes
'Maculata' greater periwinkle (Vinca major 'Maculata') is a groundcover for covering bare ground. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, loamy soil. It is evergreen and drought tolerant. This creeping plant grows at a rapid rate, so give it room. It blooms in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. Deer tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Society garlic, Purple top, and Strawberry tree.
