WANTED: Vinca minor

Posted by greenfrog VIC Australia (My Page) on

Hi,
I know lots of people will think I'm totally crazy requesting this, but I'd like to grow it as a groundcover to prevent weeds among my bulbs in a large area that it cannot escape from. I'd like any variety, but especially would like ones with nice variegations or different coloured flowers (there's a white one and a reddish purple that both look very attractive). If anyone has plenty to spare I'd be willing to pay all postage costs for some.
Thanks.
Daniel

RE: WANTED: Vinca minor

Daniel, Vincas are a bit weedy. There is a double in the Ball Bot Gardens near the Friends shop from memory and it has taken over! Vinca minor alba is available from many nurseries (Kmart) in 3" pots. I spend my time at Marysville trying to poison V. major. I did get an 'alba' but for a basket!
