Vinca major - The large evergreen: a versatile beauty for your garden
Vinca major - An indispensable ground cover for lush greenery all year round
The large evergreen (Vinca major) is a plant that no garden should be without. With its glossy, deep green leaves and pretty blue flowers, which appear from April to August, it is a real eye-catcher. This robust, low-maintenance plant is ideal for anyone who wants a green, lively garden without having to invest a lot of time in maintenance.
Tireless ground cover with lush flowers
Vinca major impresses with its versatility in the garden. It is unbeatable as a ground cover - it forms dense carpets that not only ensure a neat appearance, but also protect the soil and effectively suppress weeds. The evergreen egg-shaped leaves remain attractive all year round and, in combination with the delicate flowers, create an attractive play of colours that will enrich your garden.
In spring, when most plants are still in hibernation, Vinca major begins to show its first flowers. The goblet-shaped blue flowers are not only a visual delight, but also an important source of food for early-flying insects. Thanks to its long flowering period, which extends into autumn, the large periwinkle provides a continuous splash of colour in your garden.
Perfect partners for a harmonious garden
Periwinkle is ideal for combining with other plants to create harmonious and varied garden designs. It goes particularly well with shade-loving perennials such as ferns or hosta, whose lush foliage contrasts beautifully with the delicate flowers of the vinca. The large periwinkle also reveals its full beauty in combination with ornamental shrubs such as rhododendrons or azaleas, creating a lush, structured overall picture.
Thanks to its ability to thrive in difficult locations such as under trees or in shady areas, Vinca major is a valuable addition to any garden landscape. It grows in both sun and shade, although it comes into its own particularly well in shadier areas. Its strong root system ensures that it thrives even in poor soil and spreads quickly without crowding out other plants.
Easy to care for and undemanding - the perfect choice for novice gardeners
Vinca major is the ideal plant for garden owners who want low-maintenance and robust greenery. Once established, the large evergreen requires minimal care. It requires little water and is very resistant to pests and diseases. It can also withstand longer periods of drought without any problems, making it an ideal choice for gardens in all climate zones.
To control growth and keep the plant in shape, occasional pruning is sufficient. This also promotes the formation of new shoots and even denser coverage of the soil. As Vinca major is hardy, it does not need any special protection in the cold months and provides green accents in your garden even in winter.
A benefit for the environment and wildlife
In addition to its aesthetic benefits, planting Vinca major also helps to promote biodiversity. Its flowers attract a variety of pollinators such as bees and butterflies, which are very important for the health of your garden. At the same time, the dense leaves provide protection and a habitat for small garden creatures.
