Lovely throughout the winter and early spring, when amongst trails of fresh-looking evergreen leaves, on upright stems, are initially starry-white periwinkle flowers, gradually turning an light blue to lilac. Needs shelters from icy blasts, so good at the base of a wall or fence.
Vinca difformis
Intermediate periwinkle
