Vinca Vine

This is the true vinca. Vinca Vine is an old fashioned favorite. It's been a reliable component of baskets and containers for years. It will grow in almost any soil. It isn't fussy about the amount of light that it gets and it's a rugged plant that can withstand a fair amount of abuse. Vinca will occassionally show a blue to red flower, but this plant is really grown for its variegated leaves and trailing habit.
