Lesser Periwinkle - Vinca minor (1 unit, 10.5cm pot)
Vinca is a vigorous, low-growing subshrub that is highly decorative and low maintenance. The stems root at the nodes, forming dense green carpets. It is a great choice for ground cover in shady areas, though its simple blue flowers are more abundant when planted in the sun. It blooms between late spring and early autumn; during the rest of the year, its glossy oval leaves take center stage. It produces solitary, 5-petaled flowers with a small light central disc, usually in shades of pink or blue-violet, with white or lavender varieties also available. The fruit consists of a pair of follicles containing numerous seeds.

CUIDADOS
Light: Thrives in full sun or partial shade; flowers best in full or partial sun (preferably direct morning sun).
Watering: Moderate to frequent in warmer months—especially if potted—to ensure hydration during peak flowering (avoid standing water in saucers or non-draining decorative pots). Adjust watering frequency in winter. If outdoors, let nature/rain handle it, except during moderate droughts.
Temperature: Adapts to mild climates. Does not tolerate hard frosts. In cold climates, it may behave as an annual.
Fertilization: Use a suitable outdoor plant fertilizer in spring and summer to promote blooming.
Soil: Thrives in any soil as long as it is cool and fertile.
Pruning: Prune regularly to control growth, maintain health, and promote flowering.
Not Pet-friendly: This plant is toxic to pets.
Fun fact: Beyond its ornamental value as an excellent ground cover (weed suppressant), Vinca is known for its resilience and ease of cultivation. It contains over 50 alkaloids, some of which serve as the basis for chemotherapy compounds like vincristine and vinblastine.
