Purple Periwinkle (Vinca minor ‘Atropurpurea’)

Purple Periwinkle is a low-growing, evergreen perennial valued for its rich purple flowers and dense, spreading habit. This cultivar of Vinca minor is known for its ability to create a lush groundcover in shaded and difficult areas.

This trailing perennial forms a thick mat of glossy, dark green foliage that remains attractive year-round. In spring and often sporadically through summer, it produces small, star-shaped flowers in deep purple tones, adding vibrant colour against the evergreen leaves.

Purple Periwinkle is well-suited for groundcover, shaded borders, slopes, and underplanting. Its vigorous spreading habit makes it ideal for filling large areas, controlling erosion, and suppressing weeds.
