Vinca minor 'Ralph Shugert' - Variegated Periwinkle Ground Cover (48-Pack)
Vinca minor 'Ralph Shugert' is an evergreen ground cover featuring glossy green leaves with striking creamy-white edges and vibrant lavender-colored flowers. This variegated periwinkle forms dense mats of foliage that effectively suppress weeds while adding visual interest to shaded gardens throughout the year.
Key Features
- Variegated Foliage: Glossy dark green leaves edged in creamy white create year-round visual appeal
- Lavender Blooms: Bright violet-blue flowers appear from mid-spring through early summer, with sporadic blooms into autumn
- Compact Growth: Reaches 10-25cm in height, spreading 30-36 inches wide to form effective ground coverage
- Shade Tolerant: Thrives in partial to full shade, making it ideal for areas under trees and along borders
- Low Maintenance: Requires minimal care once established, tolerates most soil types
- Weed Suppression: Dense mat formation naturally prevents weed growth
Ideal Uses
This 48-pack is perfect for larger landscaping projects including woodland gardens, slopes requiring erosion control, underplanting shrubs and trees, border edging, and container gardening. The trailing stems root at nodes as they spread, creating a dense carpet of rich foliage that fills in garden spaces effectively.
Planting & Care
Plant 20-30cm apart for quick coverage in smaller areas, or 30-45cm apart for larger spaces. Vinca minor 'Ralph Shugert' performs best in well-drained soils with partial to full shade. Water regularly during establishment, then this hardy perennial becomes drought-tolerant. Occasional dark green shoots with no variegation should be pruned to maintain the variegated appearance.
