Description

Tough, tidy, and quietly elegant – Vinca minor ‘Alba’ is a brilliant ground cover choice for shady spots where other plants might struggle. Its glossy green foliage spreads gently to carpet the soil, while pure white starry flowers pop up in spring and again in autumn. Ideal for underplanting shrubs, softening the edge of borders, or pairing with ferns and hostas in South London’s courtyard gardens.
