A beautiful variegated form of greater periwinkle, leaves boldly and irregularly edged cream and gold. Large flowers of violet-blue opening throughout the summer. Easy to grow in all but the driest of soils. Spreads by runners and can be invasive. We find it useful for brightening up a dark shady area, where its foliage is more valuable than its flower.
