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!

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!

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!
