Re: Vinca Minor does well in the shade???

There  is both a Vinca Minor AND a Vinca Major! The primary difference is
that the leaves of the Major are larger than those of the Minor. In my
garden, they both have periwinkle blue flowers, survive cold winters, are
spreaders, seem to grow in both sun and shade, can take water or do without,
and become a pest when they grow into areas with smaller plants and cover
them up. There are varieties with a purplish red flower, and maybe even a
white flower (?) Some varieties have variegated leaves---I don't know if
they spread as rampantly as the plain leaved varieties. It's a nice plant
for ground cover IF you keep it in bounds!
