Periwinkle - Illimuniation

Dramatic alone in hanging baskets for long golden tresses. Direct sun will prematurely bleach foliage. Blooms in late spring and continues sporadically through the summer. The Vinca Minor 'Illumination', produces near continuous foliage changes. Pest and disease free. Beautiful cascading down slopes, banks, walls and curbs. Herbaceous perennial. Later in the year plants turn to cream on attractive pink stems. Each yellow leaf is edged with a grass green margin. In the garden use as a spreading groundcover to brighten shade gardens. Ideal foliage accent for color pots too. Spring growth emerges chartreuse then brightens to golden yellow. Flowers are Dutch blue, 1 inch wide for high contrast against foliage. ... additional info
