A popular ground cover plant, Vinca minor ‘Illumination’ is a wonderful shrub for brightening tricky areas around the garden. It will happily flourish in full sun or shade, poor draining or free draining soil, creating a carpet of mid-blue blooms and uplifting yellow and green variegated foliage.
Robust and fully hardy, this shrub requires minimal care to look at its best and is a great choice for softening areas of hard landscaping at the edges of flowerbeds and borders. It will also form a charming cascade over your hanging baskets and containers with cheerful colour that lasts throughout the seasons.
In addition to looking great, this unfussy plant is a great choice for attracting bees and other pollinators to your outside space, adding to the biodiversity of your garden.
Also known as lesser periwinkle ‘Illumination’, it is less vigorous than its Vinca major cousins and will provide endless flowers and sensational foliage that doesn’t overpower and lasts through all seasons.
