An excellent ground cover with dark green glossy foliage, Vinca minor 'Bowles' variety has large purple-blue pinwheel flowers that appear late spring and continue throughout summer. The 'Bowles' variety boasts larger and glossier leaves than other Vinca, as well as larger and more numerous flowers. Grows outward from the crown, rather than rooting along the stems, so it grows a little slower for smaller spaces and containers.
