Ralph Shugert VincaRalph Shugert Vinca is a refined groundcover that delivers dependable beauty in areas where other plants struggle. Its glossy, variegated foliage stays evergreen in most climates, bringing light to low-light conditions. Lavender-blue flowers appear in mid-spring and reappear sporadically throughout summer into fall, creating subtle, extended color in shaded beds, under trees, or along woodland edges. Unlike more aggressive periwinkles, this variety offers a balanced growth habit—vigorous enough to suppress weeds but less likely to overtake nearby plantings.
Color That Carries Through the Season
Bright violet-blue flowers open above a lush base of dark green leaves edged in white. These blooms arrive in mid-spring, and the plant continues to flower off and on through the growing season, keeping shady spaces looking lively without constant care.
Groundcover Without the Takeover
This cultivar is more restrained than typical vinca vine, rooting gradually as it spreads to form a low, dense mat. It helps block out weeds and fills tough spaces while still playing well with companion plants.
Elegant Foliage That Holds Its Shape
The narrow white leaf margins remain crisp throughout the season, even in heat and humidity. Evergreen in mild climates, the foliage offers year-round interest and won’t fade into the background.
Great for Slopes, Edges and Understory Planting
Ralph Shugert Vinca vine is ideal for erosion control on slopes, as a neat groundcover between shrubs, or weaving through partially shaded gardens. Once established, it needs minimal input to stay healthy and attractive.
