Vinca Major “Maculata” – a wonderful shade plant for ground cover

Vinca is also called periwinkle, and it’s an excellent plant to grow in that area of your garden that is completely shady. It has a low-growing habit that makes it ideal as ground cover, and its pretty violet-blue flowers will add a lot of interest, which is ideal if you have a sloped garden, or a cottage garden setting too.

Vinca needs to be watered very well, and even if it does very well in a shaded area, you shouldn’t keep it in places that are very hot. It would rather grow in an average to moist conditions, and it shouldn’t be left to dry out.

  1. I clicked on this because I thought it was going to be for house plants. Inside of my home is rather dark (due to lots of trees outside). Have you done one for indoor plants that like less light?
