The Profile
Variegated Vinca Vine
Variegated Vinca Vine consists of a number of arching stems that are clustered together close to the ground. As they shoot up directly from the soil, they curve downwards slightly from the beautiful leaves. This useful plant variety is a good choice for areas in need of a basic ground cover or to trail over banks. The plants pop up early in the springtime when many others are just waking from the long winter. Variegated Vinca Vine grows best in partial sun to full shade. Consider growing it in spots with trees that offer dappled light as it’s a lovely change of pace from ivy.
