Major will climb small shrubs.


Looking out the window - so it will, but not, here at least, trees :-)


The only problem that I have found with Vinca Minor is that it can be
very difficult to weed the buttercups and couch grass from amongst it. A
membrane stops it from running across the ground and rooting so it can
spread. I like it and have 4 different varieties - blue, purply/maroon,
white flowers and one with variegated leaves. I personally just put up
with most of the weeds and pull out the most obvious ones.
