Description

Variegated Bigleaf Periwinkle, also known as Greater Periwinkle, Large Periwinkle or Variegated Vinca Major, is a fast-growing evergreen vining plant with long trailing stems and large, 3 inch long variegated leaves of green edged in white. Violet blue flowers 2 inches across rise just above the foliage in spring, and usually continue to bloom intermittently throughout the summer into fall. It is widely used as a large-area groundcover or as a soil cover and spiller plant in container gardens and hanging baskets.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 8 to 10 inches tall and spreading rapidly with trailing stems that root as they grow along the ground, Variegated Bigleaf Periwinkle is ideal for use as a groundcover to quickly fill space in large shady areas, such as under shade trees. Because the vines form roots as they go, it is also very effective on embankments, hillsides and slopes to stabilize soils and prevent erosion. Also serves well as a soil cover and spiller plant in container gardens and hanging baskets.

Suggested Spacing: 18-24″ 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 6 Bigleaf Periwinkle will grow equally well in full sun or full shade. In USDA Zones 7 and 8 it grows in shade or part shade (morning sun with afternoon shade). It must have all-day shade in Zone 9.

Beautiful plants, much better that I could have had at a local nursery.
Good root systems, plenty of mature foliage. Arrived plenty moist and in great shape. Within a few days in the ground they already had new growth.
Thank you!———————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Needed a fast spreading ground cover for a shady slope. Plants from Wilson Brothers arrived quickly and were well packed. All plants were healthy and are now thriving on my slope. Have spread well in only 3 weeks after planting. Will definitely recommend your nursery and buy from you again. Thanks so much!——————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review and the kind words! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
