Violet blue flowers 2 inches across rise just above the foliage in spring, and usually continue to bloom intermittently throughout the summer into fall. It is widely used as a large-area groundcover or as a soil cover and spiller plant in container gardens and hanging baskets.Variegated vinca goes by many names. It's a variegated form of Vinca major or greater periwinkle. It's also known as bigleaf periwinkle (Vinca major 'Variegata'), and the "variegated" part of its name means that the leaves of the plant exhibit markings of different colors.
Vinca vine has big leaves with a distinctive appearance. The leaves of variegated vinca have central patches of deep green, edged in white and varying shades of light green. These patches look like brush strokes painted across the leaf's surface and are stunning.
In addition to their year-round leaves, vinca vines also bloom. Small lavender, blue, or purple flowers appear on the vine in early-to-late spring. The flowers are shaped like pinwheels and have five petals each.
Those pretty variegated leaves last all year, and their flowers reappear yearly. It's a reliable source of green garden color and adds year-round green as a houseplant. However, vinca leaves are mildly toxic to pets.
