Description: Shipping now.Creeping Myrtle Periwinkle Vinca Vines Flowering Plants is deer and rabbit resistant!The evergreen leaves are leathery and the creeping stems are tough ? perhaps that?s why critters don?t nibble this ground cover. When you?re planting, set plants 12 to 18 inches apart and they?ll grow together in a year or two. Set them closer for a faster cover. Stems root where they touch the soil, so soon you?ll have a tight mat. However, to keep it growing dense like the cultivar ?Sterling Silver? above, give it a haircut as the flowers finish. In a small area, scissors or hedge shears are fine for clipping it back to about 4 in. Set your lawn mower as high as you can and go over large beds. It?ll fill in again, thicker than before.
