The Vinca minor 'Atropurpurea' or commonly known in the UK as the Lesser Periwinkle, is a charming evergreen that boasts deep purple, almost burgundy flowers. This ground cover plant creates a vibrant carpet of colour and foliage, making it a perfect choice for blanketing borders or sprucing up shaded areas beneath trees. Its richly coloured flowers contrast beautifully with its glossy, dark green leaves, delivering year-round interest. When planning your garden, consider pairing the Lesser Periwinkle with spring bulbs, ferns, or woodland plants like hostas. Its subtle yet striking appearance makes it a favourite for both contemporary and traditional garden designs.
