Periwinkle (Vinca minor) is the undisputed workhorse for difficult shade. It forms a dense, interlocking evergreen carpet of glossy foliage 3 to 6 inches tall that anchors loose soil and smothers weeds where lawn grass refuses to grow. From early spring through midsummer, the entire mat is blanketed in classic periwinkle-blue blossoms.
Delivered in a 50-plant bare-root pack, this bundle provides immediate, high-volume coverage for serious landscape projects, wooded borders, and erosion-prone banks.

Water deeply after planting and keep the soil consistently moist for the first few weeks while roots establish.
