This form of the Lesser Periwinkle has rounded plum-purple single flowers in the spring. Although it will flower better when given more light it is an ideal plant for groundcover in dry shade. Cut back in late summer to enable the flowers to be seen and to keep the plants spreading habit in check. 20 cm.
