Vinca minor - Ralph Shugert

An award-winning variegated lesser periwinkle, Vinca minor ‘Ralph Shugert’ features glossy dark‑green leaves edged with a crisp white margin, contrasted by vivid violet‑blue, five‑petaled blooms from mid-spring and intermittently through fall. This low, mat-forming groundcover reaches 4–6 in (10–15 cm) tall and spreads 12–18 in (30–45 cm), ideal for brightening shady spots, slopes, and containers. Exceptionally hardy (zones 4–9), drought- and deer-resistant, it thrives in full sun to full shade and adapts to various well-drained soils. Its trailing stems root easily, suppressing weeds while maintaining a tidy, evergreen carpet.
