The Living Forest (310) : Lesser Periwinkle

Small is beautiful !

Lesser Periwinkle is a small dwarf plant native to Europe that likes to grow in the brushwood and dense undergrowth of deciduous forests.
Its tiny violet-purple flowers are produced mainly from early spring to mid summer.

In Belgium it’s a rather rare appearance, but I found one !

There exist also several cultivars of this species for use in gardens as a groundcover for its evergreen foliage, ease of culture and dense compactness that smothers most ‘weeds’.

Dutch name : Kleine Maagdenpalm
German name : Kleines Immergrün (auch Kleines Singrün genannt)
Latin name : Vinca minor
