Variegated Vinca Vine brightens up green foliage and complements any color scheme. Its main feature is its stunning variegated leaves. It does produce small blue flowers, but it is insignificant compared to its foliage interest. Vinca Vine has a trailing habit of 8 to 12-inch spread that makes an impression all spring and summer long.
Vinca vine is a great go to plant that adds the final touch to a combination planter. It works great as a spiller when used in containers. It is self-cleaning, so no deadheading is needed. Native to Asia minor it is drought tolerant. You won’t catch deer nibbling on this plant either since it is deer resistant.
