Hardy and robust but also eye-catching and beautiful, Vinca minor ‘Ralph Shugert’ has variegated green and cream foliage beneath large deep violet flowers. Also known as lesser periwinkle ‘Ralph Shugert’, it can be planted in virtually any position in the garden, thriving even where little else will grow.
With a compact but vigorous habit, it will quickly establish itself to provide low maintenance ground cover to shady and sunny areas, flourishing in a range of soil types. A popular variety for use as underplanting around shrubs and roses and a range of low maintenance spaces around the garden, it will effectively suppress weed growth and soften displays when planted at the front of flowerbeds and borders.
Given the prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society, it is well suited to the UK climate and has excellent resistance to pests and disease. So, you have peace of mind that you will enjoy an effortless display of colourful flowers and foliage throughout the seasons.
