New cultivar found? What now?


I found a variegated sport of Vinca minor growing off of an older,
straight species in my backyard (also known as the "Mallorn test plots").
Looking through my references, I don't see anything that's described
similarly.  It has creamy white blotches and streaks throughout the leaf,
reminding me somewhat of Acer rufinerve 'Hatsuyaki':

The leaves are slightly smaller than the straight species, and each leaf
apex is slightly curved to the side.  The sport has sent out a runner about
4' long, but there are no blooms yet.

It's probably closest in appearance to V. minor 'Sterling Silver'.

So...

What do I do with it?  How do I find out if it is unique, and if it is,
what then?  Do I try to propagate it myself?  Do I give it away to my
favorite nursery?  I have no idea how to proceed.

Thanks for any tips,

Chris
