    An attractive large leafed variegated form, Dick brought us this years ago and somehow we never got around to propagating it, not that it needs any help, it is currently trying to eat greenhouse 2, on the other hand it is a dead easy groundcover and perhaps less aggressive than vinca minor.

    Larger leaves than the common vinca and with a lovely marbled variegation.
