Blue periwinkle
Vinca major
Blue periwinkle is a vigorous trailing groundcover that performs well in partial to full shade with average moisture. It spreads readily to fill bare areas under trees or on slopes, making it an excellent low-maintenance solution for erosion control. Trim back occasionally to keep growth contained, as it can spread aggressively in mild climates.
