Vinca minor 'Alba'
Vinca minor (Lesser periwinkle or Dwarf periwinkle), is a plant native to central and southern Europe, from Portugal and France north to the Netherlands and the Baltic States, and east to the Caucasus, and also in southwestern Asia in Turkey.
Other vernacular names used in cultivation include Small periwinkle, Common periwinkle, and sometimes in the United States, Creeping myrtle, although this is misleading, as the name myrtle normally refers to the Myrtus species.
The species is commonly grown as a ground cover in temperate gardens for its evergreen foliage, spring and summer flowers, ease of culture, and dense habit that smothers most weeds. It is also very shade tolerant (including dry shade), making it a very good subject to grow under trees.
This particular cultivar has pure white flowers.
