Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Vinca ‘Wojo’s Gem’ is a lovely form of Greater Periwinkle featuring oval, creamy yellow leaves with green margins carried on trailing, beige stems. Periwinkle likes any well-drained soil. This low growing CLIFF HANGER® plant will form a trailing mat of foliage and is a good selection for rock walls and containers, or as a massing groundcover. They are tolerant of sun and shade alike, although a partially shaded area would be ideal, with protection from late afternoon sun.
