Description
A wonderfully versatile flower, Vinca minor Illumination (aka the common periwinkle) will provide gorgeous pastel blooms that thrive in full sun to full shade. Intricate lavender blue flowers flourish in early spring and last until autumn, providing your garden with months of colour across multiple seasons.
Due to the flowers trailing stems and quick growth, Vinca minor Illumination is the perfect ground cover choice to fill up sparse areas with attractive blooms, particularly those patches that are covered in full shade. When planted this way they also have the bonus of preventing weeds. It’s also a great addition to beds, borders and hanging baskets.
The bright yellow and green leaves contrast beautifully with the violet notes of the flower and will flourish to heights of 20cm with a 50cm spread. A wonderful pollinator, Vinca minor Illumination will attract a wide variety of bees and butterflies to your garden which will enhance local wildlife in the process. No need to worry about unwanted guests though – these flowers are fully resistant to deer and rabbits, making them a beautifully safe addition to any rural garden.
Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready for planting.

Delivery Information
Please allow us 7-10 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
