Vinca minor (Lesser Periwinkle) 'Ralph Shugert'
A particularly decorative form of lesser periwinkle, celebrated for its elegant foliage which is elegantly edged in a crisp, creamy white. This striking variegation illuminates shady areas, creating a bright groundcover even when not in flower. It produces the same charming violet blue blooms from spring, offering a long season of interest. Its less vigorous spread compared to all green forms makes it an ideal choice for more refined planting schemes, where it will provide excellent erosion control on slopes without becoming invasive.
