Vinca major (Greater Periwinkle) produces attractive clear blue flowers up to 4 cm across in spring. The glossy evergreen leaves make very good groundcover in shady areas. The plant spreads by rooting wherever the trailing stems touch the ground. It will also climb up into low woody shrubs.
This plant will grow in any reasonable garden soil in sun or shade. It is resistant to dry shady conditions. It is very similar to Vinca minor, only larger.
