Vary your ground cover with this splendid white-flowered version of reliable, quick-spreading Vinca! Alba is the largest-flowered white I have ever seen, with super vigor and lots of showy spring color!The blooms arise in April and May in most gardens, making a charming companion to spring-blooming bulbs, or thriving in the dusty shade beneath trees and shrubs, where other plants are not happy. Alba complements every other color in the garden, and the blooms arise profusely on plants just 2 to 6 inches high and 2 to 3 feet wide. Wow!
Known for its adaptability and low maintenance, Vinca thrives in heat, humidity, drought, cold, and poor soil. The glossy foliage is evergreen, and the plant spreads by rooting along the stem, quickly forming a dense, glimmering mat! Perfect for naked slopes and freshly-turned soil, it establishes rapidly and looks good year-round.
If you like Alba, try a mixed planting with dusty-rose and large-flowered blue Vinca. Best blooming is in partial shade.
Space plants 2 to 3 feet apart. Zones 4-9.
