Vinca major, also known as greater periwinkle, is an excellent and popular evergreen ground cover that is highly valued for its robustness and simplicity. This variety is distinguished by its vigorous growth and larger leaves, making it the ideal choice for quickly covering shady areas, suppressing weeds, and creating lush underplanting in borders.

Features: The large periwinkle retains its glossy, dark green leaves throughout the year, providing a continuous fresh green base in the garden. It is very hardy, strong, and has the great advantage of being very low maintenance. From early spring to late summer, it treats you to beautiful purple flowers that form a stylish contrast with the dense foliage. Thanks to its strong character, it is a reliable plant that thrives even in the most difficult locations.

Appearance icon Appearance

Vinca major is characterized by its relatively large, egg-shaped leaves with a leathery texture and a deep sheen. In spring, the characteristic purple flowers appear, which stand out well among the foliage due to their size. The plant grows taller than the small periwinkle, with long runners that can reach a height of 20 to 40 centimeters before bending back to the ground to take root again. Tip: If the plant becomes too lush or starts to grow over paths, you can safely cut back the long tendrils in spring; the plant will then sprout again, fresh and compact.

Location icon Location

This large periwinkle is an ideal candidate for a spot in shade to partial shade, where it effortlessly fills larger areas. Vinca major has few soil requirements and grows in almost any well-drained soil type. It is a perfect plant for covering slopes, filling spacious borders, or as a robust ground cover under trees where little else will grow.

Water requirement icon Water Demand

Vinca major has average water requirements. After planting, it is essential to moisten the soil regularly so that the plant can establish itself well in the soil. Once established, this ground cover is very robust and resistant to dry periods; it retains its vital appearance best when the soil remains slightly moist during hot summer months.
