Hi,

just had two gardeners go through our shrubs and borders with fire and

sword.

This was much needed - we haven't had much time over the last year and

was a jungle.

We now fancy some colour to brighten the borders.

Have a look at this part of urg's FAQ. I think you'll find it helpful:

Just read the list properly and seen Vinca (Major and Minor).

I can confirm it grows well in this location; in fact I don't think the
clearasnce has fully eradicated this so it will be an ongoing battle.

My aim is for something less invasive, and with a higher flower to leaf
ratio :-)
