Vinca minor 'Atropurpurea' - Lesser Periwinkle Ground Cover (60-Pack)
Vinca minor 'Atropurpurea' is a low-growing evergreen ground cover with deep plum-purple flowers that bloom from March to June. This 60-pack bulk quantity is ideal for covering large areas quickly and cost-effectively.
Key Features
- Height: 10-25cm mature height, perfect for dense ground coverage
- Pot Size: Supplied in 9cm recyclable growing pots
- Flowers: Rich purple blooms with 5 petals, 2.5cm wide
- Foliage: Dark green, glossy evergreen leaves provide year-round interest
- Spread: Trailing stems root at nodes, creating dense mats that suppress weeds
Growing Conditions
This hardy perennial thrives in almost any soil type and adapts to full sun, partial shade, or full shade. Vinca minor 'Atropurpurea' is particularly useful for difficult areas including dry shade under trees, slopes requiring stabilization, and borders where weed suppression is needed. Once established, it requires minimal maintenance.
Planting & Care
Plant 12-18 inches apart for optimal coverage within one growing season. Water regularly during establishment, especially in summer months. Prune before February to maintain shape and encourage fresh spring growth. The trailing growth habit allows stems to self-root, creating a dense carpet of coverage.
Ideal Uses
- Erosion control on slopes and banks
- Underplanting for shrubs and trees
- Weed suppression in difficult areas
- Shaded woodland margins
- Rockeries and dry areas
