The Vinca major, commonly known as greater periwinkle, is a robust, evergreen perennial groundcover with large azure-blue flowers. The Vinca major 'Alba' stands out with its large, bright white flowers. The Vinca major 'Variegata', with its white-marginate foliage reminiscent of ivy, adds year-round decorative appeal. The greater periwinkle is ideal for covering shaded garden areas and preventing soil erosion. Its dense foliage limits the growth of adventive plants, making it a valuable ally for low-maintenance gardens. Discover our selection of greater periwinkles in these pages.
The large-flowered periwinkle thrives in partial shade or shade, in fresh, humus-bearing soil. It is a vigorous plant, so give it enough space to grow freely.
