Vinca minor is a trailing, viny subshrub, spreading along the ground and rooting along the stems to form large clonal colonies and occasionally scrambling up to 40 cm high but never twining or climbing. The leaves are evergreen, opposite, 2-4.5 cm long and 1-2.5 cm broad, glossy dark green with a leathery texture and an entire margin.
The flowers are solitary in the leaf axils and are produced mainly from early spring to mid summer but with a few flowers still produced into the autumn; they are violet-purple (pale purple or white in some cultivated selections), 2-3 cm diameter, with a five-lobed corolla. The fruit is a pair of follicles 2.5 cm long, containing numerous seeds.
The closely related species Vinca major is similar but larger in all parts, and also has relatively broader leaves with a hairy margin.

Bonjour Fabrizio,
La rosée est peut-être un peu trop abondante mais les sujets sont tout de même relativement bien valorisés dans une bonne composition.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
Gérard

Hi Fabrizio.
This picture is also very cute. Especially I like pleasant smooth surroundings. It underlines he beauty and details of the flowers very well. I am not sure that stopping is the best. However, it is not a point. My best regards.
Alexei.
