Vinca major, also known as Greater Periwinkle, is an excellent and popular evergreen ground cover that excels in robustness and simplicity. This variety is distinguished by its vigorous, upright, and spreading growth habit, making it the ideal choice for quickly covering larger areas, slopes, or as strong underplanting in shady garden areas.

Features: Vinca major retains its large, glossy, dark green leaves throughout the year, providing continuous structure and a fresh green appearance, even in winter. It is very hardy, robust, and has the great advantage of effectively preventing weed growth due to its dense and rapid growth. From early spring to summer, it also treats you to beautiful purple flowers. Thanks to its strong character, it is very easy to maintain and has few requirements in terms of soil or care.

Appearance icon Appearance

Vinca major is characterized by its large, leathery leaves with a healthy sheen. Compared to Vinca minor, both the leaves and flowers are considerably larger. From April to June, striking purple flowers appear, contrasting beautifully with the dark foliage. The plant forms long tendrils that creep along the ground and reaches a height of about 25 to 30 centimeters, forming a full and lush carpet.

Location icon Location

This periwinkle is extremely versatile and thrives in shady to semi-shady locations. It is ideal for areas where many other plants struggle, such as dry shade under trees or shrubs. Although it can tolerate sun, the foliage remains at its best in (semi) shade. The plant grows in almost any type of soil, provided it is not extremely dry.

Water requirement icon Water Demand

Vinca major has average water requirements. It is particularly important to keep the soil slightly moist immediately after planting so that the plant can establish its roots. Once established, this ground cover plant is surprisingly strong and can withstand short periods of drought. During extremely hot and dry summer months, extra watering is recommended to keep the leaves shiny and healthy.
