  • About this plant

    Vinca minor ‘Azurea Flore Pleno’ is a beautiful, evergreen ground cover featuring unique double, soft lavender-blue flowers. Unlike the more common single varieties, this cultivar offers a fuller, ruffled appearance to each bloom, adding a touch of elegance to shady corners.

Virtually no winter care needed. Evergreen foliage provides cover all year. Tidy up with light pruning in early spring if required.
