Vinca minor, also known as Variegated common periwinkle or Lesser periwinkle, is a beautiful and versatile plant that adds charm to any garden. With its delicate flowers and variegated leaves, Vinca minor Variegata is a popular choice among garden enthusiasts. This petite pervenche not only provides aesthetic appeal but also serves as ground cover due to its low-growing nature. The vibrant colors are showcased in various illustrations throughout history. In the color litho by Leonhart Fuchs from De historia stirpium commentarii insignes, we see the Periwinkle - Vinca minor (Clematis daphnoides) depicted with intricate details. Another handcoloured stipple copperplate engraving by Lambert Junior showcases the Small Periwinkle - Lesser periwinkle with flower, leaf, stalk, root, and seed. This perennial plant has been admired for centuries for its resilience and ability to thrive in different conditions. Its evergreen foliage makes it an excellent choice for borders or shady areas where other plants struggle to grow. The Vinca minor Variegata variety stands out with its striking variegation – a mix of green and creamy white leaves. In addition to its ornamental value, this species has medicinal properties too and has been used traditionally in herbal medicine for treating various ailments like coughs and congestion. The vinblastine alkaloids found in they have even shown promise in cancer treatment research. Primula Wanda flowers complement the beauty perfectly when planted together in gardens or containers. These colorful blooms create a stunning contrast against the lush greenery of the lesser periwinkle.
