Vinca minor, is a species of flowering plant native to central and southern Europe, from Portugal and France north to the Netherlands and the Baltic States, East to the Caucasus, and also southwestern Asia in Turkey. Other vernacular names used in cultivation include small periwinkle, common periwinkle, and sometimes in the United States, myrtle or creeping myrtle.
The species is commonly grown as a groundcover in temperate gardens for its evergreen foliage, spring and summer flowers, ease of culture, and dense habit that smothers most weeds. It was once commonly planted in cemeteries in parts of the American South and naturalized periwinkle may indicate the presence of graves whose other markers have disappeared.
Periwinkle leaves are used in Southern conjure in matters of marital happiness and fidelity, as well as in peaceful home formulas and workings. Fills a 3x5 inch bag.
