Hardy Western Oregon Grown Plants
Vinca Minor (Periwinkle)

This beautiful groundcover is a low-maintenance delight, thriving in sun or shade in all zones of the 'lower 48' U.S.  Most of our varieties have glossy dark green foliage (evergreen!) and many delicate blooms. Growth is 4 to 6 inches high, spreading in low mounds to establish edgings or lush beds.  (Vines may add roots where they touch the ground, filling-in all the faster!)  Never rambunctious, vinca will neither twine nor climb. Vinca also makes a great container plant.

We ship well-rooted nursery grown plants (bare root), year round.
Prices for Vinca minor:

50 plants - $35.00  –   100 plants - $52.00

Vinca Minor Bowles

Traditional 'periwinkle blue' blossoms now bloom larger, and persist from spring to fall on this much improved strain of the old-timey 'myrtle'. Nostalgic, and ideal for the traditional garden.

Vinca Minor 'Atropurpurea'
(Just call it purple!)

Wine-colored blossoms really set off this dense, low-growing vinca. Closer to the ground than others, it's perfect for neat underplantings or filling small spaces.
