Periwinkle
Periwinkle is a low-growing, spreading plant with glossy, dark green leaves. The long, ground-hugging stems will root as they spread, filling in bare soil.
The flowers are blue, single and bloom over a long period of time. Peak bloom occurs in May. Periwinkle may hold its leaves over the winter in an ideal planting site.
