Hi Homebird ~
Do you have a pic of your clipped Vinca on your GoY pics please ? :o)

yes they root anywhere homebird, have to keep on top of them, pretty flowers though, not what i would have in my garden, to much of a thug for me

I think I have this vinca invading my garden from my neighbour's garden, along with her masses of ivy..... that's why I've asked what it looks like when clippped :o(

not keen myself TT, like to see it when it has room to go mad, but leaves overdo the flowers, but thats my opiniun :o(

I have it out front, where it does get to go mad, the council cut the grass & spray everything, so my other plants didn't do well, but it's happy there! I agree about the leaves overtaking the flowers, Sandra, but theyre nice for the short time they bloom.
I might put the other thug there too!!

Well, they may as well fight it out, & at least something will get to grow there! I sometimes feel like turning their weedkiller spray back on them!!
