Notes
'Vinca Reticulata' greater periwinkle (Vinca major 'Vinca Reticulata') is a creeping groundcover for ground cover planting. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, loamy soil. It blooms in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. It sits low on the menu for deer. The leaves are evergreen and the plant is drought tolerant, and it grows fast, so give it room to spread.
Pairs well with Purple top, Society garlic, and Strawberry tree.
