Growing Conditions
This variegated periwinkle thrives in shady spots but adapts well to full sun and partial shade. It tolerates a wide range of soil conditions from poorly drained to well-drained, making it suitable for most garden settings. The plant spreads naturally by rooting at stem nodes, creating dense coverage that effectively suppresses weeds.
Garden Uses
Ideal for borders, underplanting beneath trees and shrubs, or as ground cover in difficult shaded areas. The variegated foliage adds brightness to dark corners while the spreading habit makes it effective for erosion control on slopes and banks. Plant at 12-18 inch spacing for coverage within one growing season.
Care Requirements
Vinca minor 'Argenteovariegata' requires minimal maintenance once established. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. The plant is deer resistant and tolerates dry conditions well. Flowers best in full sun but the variegated foliage shows particularly well in partial shade.
