Holding Strong
Reviewed By: Salena (Prnceton, TX)
Got these a few months back, planted them, and only 1 out of 5 took. Gurneys stands by their product!!! They promptly sent me another pack, and those 5 are doing great! I can't wait until this vinca covers the 1000 ft the other reviewer mentioned!

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!
