Morrisville area, off Davis Drive Vinca major works well as a groundcover but it is a serious weed -- I think you'll regret it if you plant it!

It may be pretty but it is a serious nuisance. I inherited some from the previous owners of our home and am constantly fighting with it to keep it in check. It's a vining plant that sets roots where ever the root makes contact with the ground which gives you yet another plant to eradicate. Sooner or later, despite my liking the pretty little purple flowers, I'm going to break down and eradicate the whole mess of it from my garden. Susan s h simko at duke dot edu |

free periwinkle major for groundcover
I have it back in a wooded area at the back of my property. It's a
great ground cover. And the lawn mower certainly keeps it in check. You just wouldn't want to plant it where it's going to spread too much. But spreading is a good quality for a ground cover no? If you doubt it, how about crown vetch... |
