description for "Perennials: Vinca major"
Vinca Major is a recommended xeric plant to use in the most inhospitable of spots in your yard, where other less muscular ground covers have failed. A large leafed evergreen, vinca grows equally well in full sun or deep shade. The quarter sized flowers are a soft blue and appear in late spring. Avoid planting with other flowers as it will overrun its neighbors. Deer resistant. This xeric plant is best adapted to and will thrive in the more arid climates of the Western U.S.
