Vinca major 'Alba' - White Flowering Greater Periwinkle Ground Cover
Vinca major 'Alba' is a robust evergreen ground cover featuring pure white star-shaped flowers and glossy dark green foliage. This 40-plant bulk pack provides excellent coverage for shady garden areas where traditional grass struggles to grow.
Key Features
This white-flowering periwinkle reaches 10-25cm in height and spreads 5-10 feet wide as stems naturally root into the ground. The glossy evergreen leaves maintain their rich color year-round, providing continuous visual interest even when not in bloom. White flowers appear from April through June, with occasional blooms continuing into summer.
Growing Conditions
Vinca major 'Alba' thrives in partial to full shade, making it perfect for underplanting beneath trees and shrubs. It tolerates various soil types and lighting conditions, though it performs best in fertile, well-drained soil. Once established, this ground cover demonstrates excellent drought tolerance and requires minimal maintenance.
Garden Applications
Ideal for borders, slopes, and areas requiring effective weed suppression. The dense mat of trailing stems provides natural erosion control on hillsides while creating an attractive carpet of foliage. Plant 12-18 inches apart for coverage within one to two growing seasons. This 40-pack bulk quantity efficiently covers larger areas at an economical price point.
Maintenance Requirements
Low-maintenance ground cover requiring regular water during the first year. After establishment, minimal care is needed. Annual trimming of wandering shoots keeps growth contained. Spring fertilization with all-purpose fertilizer maintains lush foliage. Generally pest and disease-free, though proper drainage prevents root rot.
