Dealing with Shady Sites

Common Periwinkle
Vinca minor

Trailing, vinelike evergreen groundcover which roots as it creeps along. Grows in fairly heavy shade to full-sun; although foliage tends to be deeper green and glossier in the shade. Protect from winter wind and sun. Diseases problems occur with poor soil drainage and poor air movement
