Vinca minor 'Bowles Variety'

Periwinkle, Myrtle

Plant Type: Perennial

A notable selection of the adaptable evergreen groundcover with larger violet-blue flowers, a floriferous bloom, and a more reliable reblooming habit.  Grows outward from the crown rather than from runners making it a somewhat slower spreader, which is often an asset. Ideal for smaller locations and containers.  Foliage is heavier and an attractive glossier green than the species.  Blooms mid to late spring and then again intermittently through the summer and into fall.
