Periwinkle?
 
Will Periwinkle grow densely and thick upon the ground if the ground is
damp BUT in full sun?

IOE it grows anywhere and the problem is getting rid of it, not growing it!
In full sun it will flower more.

I expect so. I have what seems to be acres of it although my garden is
fairly shady. My uncle could not grow it and appealed to my for my secret.,
which was to hack and slash it and dig as much up as you can ;-)
I gave him a couple of roots of mine, Haven't heard from him for a while..

A couple of years ago the local school were appealing for perennials to
plant up some ground they'd acquired. "Anything" they said. I briefly
considered giving them some of my Vinca. Decided against it to prevent a
lynching in 5 years time.

I suspect his wife would have noticed if he didn't come back from pruning
*my* vinca!
He probably hates me now.
