This periwinkle stands out from most periwinkle varieties as the flowers are not the usual purple, but are a soft white colour instead. The single, star-shaped leaves flower from April to September and the dark green leaves cover the shrub all year round. This is the perfect shrub for groundcover and the creeping shoots will naturally work their way over a wall for a cascading floral and foliage waterfall effect.
