Summary

A durable evergreen groundcover that brings reliable greenery and soft spring color.

Vinca minor forms dense mats of trailing stems that root as they spread, making it an effective solution for covering shaded ground and stabilizing soil. The glossy foliage remains attractive throughout the year.

In spring, five-petaled blooms in shades of blue to lavender appear above the foliage, brightening woodland gardens and shaded borders. Once established, it tolerates dry conditions and adapts well to various soil types with good drainage.

Care

Periwinkle Care

Plant in Full Sun to Full Shade. Partial Shade often produces the best balance of flowering and foliage density.

Grow in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid persistently waterlogged sites.

Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. After establishment, allow soil to dry slightly between waterings.

If needed, apply a light feeding of slow release fertilizer in early spring to support steady growth.

Trim back runners in early spring or after flowering to maintain boundaries and encourage denser growth.

Container Growing: Use a container with drainage holes and quality potting mix. Container-grown plants require more frequent watering than those planted in the ground. Plants hardy in the ground may require winter protection when grown in containers in colder zones.

Adorable, lavender bone pillow
Great soft little bone that smell smells like lavender. I use lavender in the bedroom for my blind dog. These other scents in other rooms, but lavender is for the bedroom. That way she knows which room she is in. I made little cedar sachet’s to make a scent trail around the house so that she can go from one room to the next and not get lost. She recently became blind in the last eight months from her diabetes. She had already been deaf for a few years, so it’s been a big adjustment for her. But she’s become much more confident and is finding her way around very well. I use calendula sachet for her kitchen area. Clove sachets for her special area in the living room. Marigold‘ sachets in the office. And then I have orange scented sachet at the places that she needs to stop and turn around and go back. Nothing overpowering. 5 feet between the sachets. She will be 14 next month.!

Cute but not great
Very cute but not a good toy for puppies. We first had to remove the squeaker and scent sachet as our 5 month old Mal-Shih figured out how to get it unzipped. Then she proceeded to chew the zipper up. It’s now in the trash and it was only 4 weeks old! It’s not functional for a puppy.

Has a zipper
I took out the squeak as my girl took it out as there is a zipper which I was surprised at for a dog toy. I just have to watch her with it until I can see it shut. The lavender is a good quality and she love it.
