Vinca minor 'Blue Waves' (P)

Vinca minor 'Blue Waves' (P)

A corker of a Vinca! Large propellor-shaped lilac-blue flowers arise in waves, contrasting nicely with dark green circular foliage. Ideal for ground cover in shaded areas, this low-maintenance plant spreads and trails gracefully, providing year-round interest and vibrant colour. Blue Wave grows higher than the Vinca Minor, the dark blue flowers are bigger then the Minor but smaller then the Balcanica When in garden for longer time the plants will grow in a sort of a wave over each other and dark blue flowers so that is how we got to the name ‘Blue Waves’
