    Vinca Minor, also known as Periwinkle or Creeping Myrtle, is a hardy, trailing evergreen groundcover prized for its glossy green leaves and charming star-shaped flowers. Blooming in shades of lavender-blue or purple (and sometimes white), it spreads quickly to form a dense mat, making it ideal for erosion control, underplanting, or low-maintenance coverage in shaded areas. Vinca Minor thrives with minimal care and remains attractive year-round in many climates.
