The elegant ground-cover known as periwinkle (Vinca minor ‘Ralph Shugert’ Periwinkle) features glossy evergreen foliage and charming star-shaped blooms—typically violet-blue—through spring and into summer. In Canadian conditions it thrives in part shade to full shade, preferring well-drained yet moderately moist soil, making it ideal for under-planting trees, shrubs or in woodland-style beds. While quick to spread and low-maintenance once established, this plant needs careful placement because it has an aggressive growth habit and can overtake other plants. Explore our Wildwood Express periwinkle collection to find a reliable shade-groundcover that brings year-round greenery and early floral interest.
