60x Vinca minor 'Aureovariegata' Golden Variegated Periwinkle - 9cm

Vinca minor 'Aureovariegata' - Golden Variegated Lesser Periwinkle

Vinca minor 'Aureovariegata' is a variegated form of lesser periwinkle featuring green leaves beautifully edged with golden margins. This evergreen ground cover produces lovely purple flowers from spring through summer, creating attractive contrast against its variegated foliage. Each plant reaches 10-25cm in height and is supplied in a 9cm growing pot.

Key Features

This trailing perennial forms dense mats that effectively suppress weeds while providing year-round visual interest. The golden-edged foliage brightens shaded areas where many plants struggle to thrive. Unlike plain green varieties, the variegated leaves maintain their distinctive markings in partial to full shade conditions. Purple star-shaped flowers appear in spring and continue sporadically through summer, attracting bees and pollinators.

Growing Conditions

Vinca minor 'Aureovariegata' thrives in partial to full shade, making it ideal for underplanting beneath trees and shrubs. It adapts to most soil types provided drainage is adequate, though it performs best in moist, well-drained conditions. Space plants 30-45cm apart for ground cover use. The trailing stems root at nodes where they contact soil, naturally expanding coverage over time. Once established, this ground cover becomes relatively drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance.

Landscape Uses

This variegated periwinkle excels as ground cover for challenging spots including steep banks, shaded slopes, and areas under trees where grass struggles. It provides effective erosion control while adding color to borders and pathways. The evergreen foliage delivers year-round interest, with the golden variegation brightening darker garden areas. Perfect for mass planting in woodland gardens or as underplanting for larger shrubs.

Bulk Pack Value

This 60-plant pack provides efficient coverage for larger landscaping projects. At recommended spacing, this quantity covers approximately 5-8 square meters, depending on desired density. Bulk purchasing offers cost-effective solutions for extensive ground cover needs.
