Vinca Groundcover
Reviewed By: James Baker (Lagrange, Ga)
This is a vigorous, very hardy groundcover. Mine is in semi-shade and in 5 years has covered approx. 1000 square feet. Beautiful flowers and much better than Kudzu.

really grows anywhere!
Reviewed By: Patricia Rucker (Harpers Ferry, WV)
I planted this last year and this year it covers double the space. And we have hard, clay soil that hardly allows anything to grow!

Was first to bloom
Reviewed By: Selena Clements (Port Orchard, Wash.)
I planted this in a planter last year after knowing a woman who makes creams out of the leaves. I admired the vigorous growth and evergreen traits. Not only did it survive neglect (OTJ back injury), but it's spread. This year, it has been the first to bloom. I want more!
