Vinca minor (Lesser Periwinkle) is a vigorous, evergreen mat-forming perennial with glossy dark green leaves and large lavender blue flowers from mid-spring to early summer. Borne over a long period, they continue to flower intermittently throughout summer into fall and are valuable for enlivening dark areas. The long, trailing stems root at the nodes as they go along the ground to form a dense carpet of rich foliage. Excellent for suppressing weeds, this vigorous periwinkle is one of the most popular and widely used groundcovers.

Native of Dalmatia in Croatia, Iris Pallida 'Argentea Variegata' is a semi-evergreen rhizomatous Bearded Iris noted for its striking foliage and showy, scented purple flowers. The unique variegated foliage consists of sword-like leaves, elegantly striped with silvery-white and gray-green. Long-lasting, it extends its dramatic interest through fall and even winter, if mild enough. Sweetly fragrant, light blue-purple flowers with decorative yellow beards, about 3-5 in. wide (7-12 cm) appear in late spring to early summer atop scapes rising to 34 in. tall (85 cm).
