Description

‘Illumination’ Variegated Periwinkle is a fast spreading, evergreen perennial groundcover plant that illuminates the landscape and container gardens with its brilliant yellow and dark green variegated leaves. produces lots of pretty lavender-blue periwinkle flowers in spring. As an extra bonus are very pretty purple-blue periwinkle flowers that appear just above the foliage carpet in spring to contrast beautifully with the foliage. The vines are quite aggressive, and will quickly form a dense carpet but do not climb, cover or choke out other plants in the garden. Hosta lilies, spring bulbs and other herbaceous perennial plants will pop right through in spring. Excellent for underplanting shade trees!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 4 to 6 inches tall (lays flat to maybe 2 inches or so in winter) and spreading 3 or more feet, Illumination Variegated Periwinkle is ideal for use as a groundcover in shady to partially shaded landscape borders, home foundation plantings and under the canopies of large trees. A perfect evergreen groundcover for use in perennials shade gardens where plants like hosta lily, ferns, bulbs and other herbaceous shade-loving plants will pop right through it in spring. A fine spiller plant for combination container gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 18 to 24 inches apart for groundcover

Growing Preferences

Evergreen Periwinkle is very easy to grow in most any average, moist but well-drained soil. As with so many other ornamental plants, constantly soggy or wet conditions can be problematic. So make sure to plant in a well-drained site. In USDA Zones 4 through 6, Evergreen Periwinkle will grow equally well in full sun or full shade. In USDA Zones 7-8, it grows in shade or part shade (morning sun with afternoon shade). It must have all-day shade in Zone 9.

We received our order of 10 Illumination Variegated Periwinkles in excellent condition. The way the plants are packaged for shipping always amazes me. The soil is moist and the plants are very healthy looking. We planted them and they look very happy. We expect them to do well. And this goes for all the plants that we have previously purchased. The selection is better and the plants look healthier than what we can get from our local nurseries. We are solid Wilson Brothers customers.—————————————————Wow! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
