The hardy Vinca minor ‘Alba’, the periwinkle’s botanical name, provides lovely, evergreen ground cover. This dwarf periwinkle easily spreads out and forms a dense mat of glossy leaves covered with crisp, white flowers. They’re perfect for covering spaces between hedges like boxwoods or to plant beneath trees and shrubs. Want to get rid of the weeds in your garden? A thick bed of Vinca minor can lend you a hand.
