Lesser Periwinkle

Vinca minor (common names lesser periwinkle or dwarf periwinkle) is a species of flowering plant in the dogbane family, native to central and southern Europe. Other vernacular names used in cultivation include small periwinkle, common periwinkle, and sometimes in the United States, myrtle or creeping myrtle.

Vinca minor belongs to the Vinca genus within the Apocynaceae family. It performs reliably across temperate, subtropical zones in our experience.
