A very pretty ground cover plant, spring to autumn flowering Vinca minor ? Atropurpurea' provides weed-suppressing perennial evergreen foliage & rich violet flowers. Vinca minor, or Lesser Periwinkle is easier to confine than it's larger & more boisterous cousin, Vinca major so an alpine or rockery position could be considered. Vinca minor is a versatile specimen as it enjoys full sun but would also be happy in dark & shady corners of the garden where other plants would struggle.
