Vinca minor 'La Grave' (also known as 'Bowles' Variety') is an excellent and popular evergreen ground cover, often regarded as one of the most profusely flowering varieties of its kind. This variety is distinguished by its compact and vigorous growth habit, making it perfect for creating a dense, weed-suppressing carpet under trees, in borders, or on difficult shady slopes.

Features: 'La Grave' retains its glossy, deep green, leathery leaves throughout the year, providing continuous structure and color in the garden, even in winter. It is very hardy, robust, and has the great advantage of flowering profusely with larger, deep blue to purple flowers compared to common periwinkle. Its healthy and vigorous growth also makes it very easy to maintain; it quickly fills in gaps without overgrowing other plants.

Appearance icon Appearance

Vinca minor 'La Grave' stands out thanks to its beautiful combination of dark green, glossy leaves and strikingly large, lavender blue to purple flowers. Flowering is most intense in spring (April-May), but the plant often continues to flower throughout the summer. With a height of approximately 10 to 15 centimeters, it stays nice and low to the ground, creating a neat and even green surface.

Location icon Location

This plant is particularly flexible in terms of its location, but thrives best in partial shade to shade. The more sun the plant gets, the more abundant the flowering will be, provided the soil remains sufficiently moist. In full shade, flowering is slightly more modest, but the foliage remains a beautiful deep green. 'La Grave' has few soil requirements, but prefers humus-rich, well-drained soil.

Water requirement icon Water Demand

The water requirements of 'La Grave' are average. After planting, it is important to water the plant regularly so that the roots can establish themselves properly. Once mature, the plant is surprisingly drought tolerant, making it very suitable for the often drier soil under shrubs or large trees. During extremely dry periods in summer, additional watering is recommended to maintain vitality.
