Using Vinca minor as ground cover
There was a recent thread which mentioned Vinca minor as a potentially good ground cover plant where it could be confined by hard landscaping edges. We have a large roadside border between our boundary wall and the pavement. It is supposed to be maintained by the LA but they long ago ceased to manage it due to budgetary constraints and advised us to look after it ourselves. It is planted with mature conifers, some shrubs and some tete a tete narcissi and primroses for a bit of spring colour. The border is in shade for much of the day and the soil is poor. To keep the weed growth in check we were thinking of laying bark chippings or planting some ground cover. It occurs that Vinca minor might be useful given the growing conditions but a question is would the Vinca strangle the tete a tete and primroses? The border is bounded by our wall on one side and the pavement on the other which should contain it. -- rbel |
