Origin
The Vinca minor 'Alba,' also known as the white periwinkle, has its origin in the regions of Central and Western Europe. This hardy perennial has spread to North America and New Zealand over the years.

Characteristics
The Vinca minor 'Alba' is a low ground-covering plant characterised by its white, star-shaped flowers with five petals that bloom in the spring and partly in the summer. The smooth leaf of the plant is dark green and remains on the plant throughout the year. The plant can grow to about 15 centimetres high and has strong growth with an expanding growth habit.

Care
The Vinca minor 'Alba' thrives best in semi-shade to full sun and can grow in both a dry and a humid soil. It is recommended to prune the plant in early spring to promote compact growth. Although the plant is resistant to drought, regular watering during long periods of dry weather is essential for the plant.
